Started out pretty windy, sustained around 15 mph with some gusts over 20 mph.
Started with drop-out up due to wind for first standard star, but lowered for targets.
We had a few high gusts as the night went on but winds were NNE and we pointed south all night.
We started to see more dust near the end of the night, so we closed early before doing final standard star.
