Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Observing Summary:

Mostly during the first half we were OK, after we talked to Bob
and he helped us fix the pointing problem we described last 
night. The second half of the night we opened and closed a few 
times due to high humidity. We had some difficulty with the 
cooling system, maybe due to the rapid change in humidity. 
We're not sure it's a big problem, but will describe in a 
trouble report.
