Observer(s): Jules Halpern
Institution(s): Columbia U.

Instrument: CCDS.RETROCAM

Worked for 1.0 hours (first half of the night)
Bad weather most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 3 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

A reprise of last night.  Got decent sky flats despite cirrus.
Then (maybe) one SN. Couldn't even focus the telescope because
the seeing was so bad.  Increasing clouds then made it impossible
to work. Gave up at about 10:30 pm when the humidity went above 90%.
Rain in the morning.
