Observing Summary:

I obtained major axis spectra of 2 galaxies, as well as a
single major axis exposure for a third galaxy and spectra
of assorted template stars, before I was forced to shut down

(reaching 99.7% at one point) until shortly before morning
twilight, at which point it fell to just below the limit and the
temperature dropped significantly.
