Observing Summary:

Not a great night. Very hazy at the start likely due to windstorm 
down the mountain. But there was no dust in the flashlight beam, 
so we opened. Variable clouds throughout the night make guiding a
challenge, and around 1:30 we closed due to clouds.


Dome did not return to home again. 
Performed proceedure and problem was corrected.
