Observing Summary:

Weather looked very bad at start of night with clouds moving in from the West.  However, major cloudiness never developed and the night turned out pretty well.

Completed some globular cluster and open cluster photometry and observed one lensing target.

Interesting tidbit:  There was a dead mouse by the garage door in the evening that isn't there now.  So I guess we had visitors.
