Observing Summary:

Smoke rolling in from New Mexico wildfires looked ominous, but 
both dust and smoke cleared around the time observing began. Seeing
gradually improved throughout the night. All targets were easily 
acquired, although the telescope seems to consistently point a bit
north of the desired field.
