The night started off promising, with good seeing and a few
clouds.  But it quickly became mostly cloudy, with bad
seeing.  Only bright objects could be observed for the first

the seeing was terrible.

(Sorry, wrong telescope was indicated in my first report.
Very sleepy on the first night of the run).
