Observing Summary:


A nice smooth night but with some bad seeing at times.

At start, the trailing edge of a raft of clouds came through,
leaving clear skies for the remainder of the night. Windier
than usual, and a bit chillier. Mirror ended up just a little
warmer than ambient. 

JT has the ReStars meeting downtown, so he slept the second 
half, leaving telescope with Erin Dauson, who worked it
successfully.
