Observing Summary:

Early in the night we had problems pointing to targets in 
the East. The problem was solved when Eric had us adjust
the preload. At the end of the night the dome would not home,
using previous observers solutions, in the dome command we
set the direction to Left rather than Auto, homed the dome again
and the dome went home. 

Light Cirrus in the early part of the night that gradually 
increased throughout the night.
