Observing Summary:

After thick clouds in the evening, we decided to open when it looked to be clearing up,
about 12:30 am. Three frustrating hours of data-taking ensued. Guide stars were in and out. 
Data wasn't best quality, though seeing was pretty good...Quit about an hour early,
unsure if any of the data we took were going to be useful.
