Observing Summary:

Seeing was good at start. Closed briefly due to concern over 
gusting winds and trend of increasing speed, reopened after 
~1hr near 23:30 when wind died down. Encountered issue with 
xmis gui apparently freezing when trying to move guide probe 
back to origin after last target (see trouble report), but tcs 
fine so did not interfere with stowing telescope.
