Observing Summary:

After the huge cloud system that had plagued as for a while finally had moved through (in fact, we were lucky to be on the 
Western side of it!), observing began at 21.00 local time. 
No problems with telescope or equipment encountered.
Observed NGC2403 & M81, then switched over to the Bootes Field Monitoring.

By about 08:45 UT, the humidity reached dangerous levels - decided to close 
down...decision reinforced twenty minutes later, when a quick check revealed moisture
buliding up on the car windows.
