Observing Summary:


Here with 10 undergrads from my observational astronomy lab class.
It was mostly clear at sunset and we had only light cirrus for the first couple of hours, but the clouds built up towards the middle of the night.  By 3-5AM, we weren't really getting many useful observations.  
It mostly cleared up again just in time for twilight.  Overall, pretty good.

Lost a little time at the beginning due to the dec motor controller.
