Worked for 8 hours (most of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

   Beg: Seeing 2.2 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 1.8 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

Got a late start because of clouds and humidity.
Opened around 22:30 MST and observed one target
for the duration.  The humidity stayed around
the limit for most of the night, but the seeing was
pretty good.  A few times the N-S oscillation appeared,
but it may be due to wind.  We closed the dropleaf
as long as possible, until the target was setting,
then opened it.
