   Beg: Seeing 0.9 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 0.7 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

A good night indeed. It was clear at the beginning of the night,
and it was photometric for the most part, though clouds were
visible in the morning. The seeing ranged from 0.7 to 1 .

Since I wasn't sure if I would lose pointing, I slewed to my
targets using the hand-paddle and did not have any pointing
problems. If you guys can check the pointing during the day,
it'll be great.
