Observing Summary:

Good weather (seeing ~ 1''). Observed more fields in the Orion A
and B molecular clouds and many Landolt standards. Observed 
fields in Ursa minor and some other extra galactic sources for 
others at UM. Clouds started to move in close to morning which
increased the seeing/noise and decreased the signal level in the 
last few images I obtained. Took sky flats at dawn.
