Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing .8 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing .9 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Not quite as good as last night, but pretty good all the same.  Seeing was only ok for the first few hours, largely due to the telescope cooling down and changing focus.  After midnight or so, everything settled down and the night went smoothly.
