Observing Summary:

Elisabeth Newton opened the telescope around 19:30. She observed for the first few hours of the night. There was a problem where ds9 was not loading, she was not able to take multiple exposures, and the temperature was reading '000'. The concern was that the CCD was too warm. An error report was filed, and the issue was fixed within the night. There was minimal impact from this issue. The humidity climbed throughout the beginning of the night, and reached high enough levels to warrant closing the telescope around 22:00. The humidity continued to rise and remained high for the rest of the night, so Keighley Rockcliffe did not open when she took over in the morning.
