Worked for 5 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:


I used the 1.3m remotely from the 2.4m control room tonight.
Conditions were clear, but quite breezy at the start of the night (20mph, gusting up to 25-30), so I delayed opening the 1.3m until I was sure that the wind situation was stable.
Seeing was worse tonight, particularly towards the end.
