Observing Summary:

Observed science target for about 2 hours in total. We closed at
roughly 21:40 following KPNO closure due to increasingly high
humidity levels. Opened again at 03:00 after humidity levels at MDM
decreased below the upper limit.

(When we closed the dome, the TCS log responded with 'done
limits east=off west=off north=off south=off'. The first time
we saw this message was during our previous night.)
