Observing Summary:

Under the threat of looming clouds on the western horizon (in conjunction with the indications of lack of transparency by the Kitt Peak clear sky chart), we removed a low priority target early in the night in attempt to triage n5548, mrk668, 3c382, and mrk374.
We fought with patchy clouds for most of the night and encountered what was potentially nodding toward the middle.
