Observing Summary:

Aylin Garcia Soto opened the dome around 17:00 to take skyflats. She started observing targets at 18:45. Conditions were good until 02:00 MST (09:00 UTC). The targets were difficult to find and place in the slit. The clouds left around 03:00 MST, but came back at 04:00 MST for Keighley Rockcliffe's portion of the night. The clouds had mostly left by 05:15 MST, but it was still a bit difficult to find a guide star. The rest of the morning went well, with some minor jittering of the telescope, probably due to pointing into a mild wind. The dome was closed at 07:00 MST.
