Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.

   Mid: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Almost clear night after a dubious-looking afternoon.  The one 
issue to report was the classic nodding problem, which affected
a target at about 2 h W and a few degrees positive declination.
It occurs much less frequently than before Dick Treffers installed
the new motor, but it has not completely disappeared.
