Observing Summary:

Overall a reasonable night. Seeing was good (1 arcsec) to mediocore (1.5
arcsec). Winds remained mostly below 10 mph. No clouds. Warm. Very nice.

I encountered a problem at the very end of the night where I lost
some crucial time on an important object because the xmis window
lost its mind. See the trouble report for details.

Note: I did not fill the TIFKAM dewer because the next observer is scheduled to 
use OSMOS.
