Observing Summary:

A much smoother start tonight. High cloud appeared after a few 
hours and I basically lost the middle of the night, but it 
cleared nicely for several hours after that.  Humidity 
remained low.  

I closed a little early because my main target set and I had 
commitments later this morning.

One more night on this target would be useful if the staff 
logistics work.
