Observing Summary:

Grim at start, but cleared earlier than expected.  Humidity 
went well below limit but stayed rather high all night.

Operated the dome slit and dropout remotely -- had to force
open because it complained (again) that it was raining, when it
definitely wasn't.

Did not close MIS dark hatch in the morning - please close it.

Remarkably little wind, almost still.
