Observing Summary:

There was a combination of clouds, humidity and wind that pushed observing until 01:00. Aylin Garcia Soto opened the telescope around 01:00. Over the next couple of hours, wind gusts of ~30 mph made observing difficult. Aylin Garcia Soto closed the telescope around 02:00 for this reason. Keighley Rockcliffe opened the telescope around 04:00 and was able to observe until sunrise. Skyflats were taken, and the telescope was closed at around 07:00. When closing the telescope, the  dammit  command had to be used to override the  rain  switches within the software.
