Observing Summary:

Once again, I observed from the 2.4m control room. It was overcast at sunset, but then the clouds partly cleared. There were patchy clouds for much of the night, especially to the east, but there were also some pretty clear stretches. It became quite cloudy again after 3am and I shut down a little early in morning twilight. 

I had to power cycle the dec controller at the beginning of the night. Fortunately, the only time lost was in twilight.
