Observing Summary:

Tracked some time-series targets.

Everything worked well, except I lost guiding once unexpectedly
and lost a little time.  There was a bit of wind shake at the 
start of the night but this didn't cause any trouble later. 
The seeing was mostly pretty good, too.  It was, however, very
bright, being exactly two weeks after the eclipse!

Thanks to the staff for accommodating this at such short notice.
Hopefully it will be useful data!
