Observing Summary:

After two days inside clouds, it finally cleared. The humidity was between
75-85% the first couple of hours after sunset and also there was some water
in the mirror covers that dropped after opening the dome, so we decided
to wait. We opened at ~9:30pm. The humidity and temperature oscilated 
wildly during the night. The seeing started around 1.5  but got worst at
the end of the night, up to 2.5 .
