It was non-photometric at the beginning, but it cleared up after
midnight. The seeing was around 0.8-1 arcsec at the beginning, though
it went down to 0.6-0.7arcsec after midnight and it stayed like that
till the morning hours. 

The problem that I had: When I was filling the dewar, the hose
broke and I couldn't finish filling the dewar. Please replace the
hose, and fill the dewar first thing in the morning.
