   Mid: Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   End: Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

No problems were encountered besides the weather.

It was fairly cloudy at sunset, but my target rose late (10:30pm) so I was able to wait for the clouds to dissipate a bit.

I opened around 10:30pm but lost my guide star after taking few exposures (due to clouds).

After a bit (maybe 15 minutes) I was able to find it again and proceeded with nonstop observations for the rest of the night.
