MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2004 Oct 17

   High Humidity all night.
   Beg: Seeing 1 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Hopeless night.  The sky seemed to be clearing up early in the
evening, and I was able to get one (!) 1000s exposure.  Then,
the humidity rose quickly above 85% and reached 100% by around
9pm, where it has remained for the whole night.  

Sigh.
