   Mid: Seeing 1 arcsec, Overcast, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Last night I played hide and seek with my guide stars and lost.  
There was cirrus until around 9pm, when the clouds got thicker.  
They were thick enough that I closed, losing about two hours to 
the clouds.  When I opened back up, there were a few more waves 
of thick clouds, such that I donated about 1/2 - 1 more hours to 
the clouds.  It was quite clear after 2:15am and I may have 
gathered some useful data...hooray!
