At 11:00pm, the humidity was looking stable near 65-70% and the cloud 
cover started dissipating so I decided to open up. Everything worked 
fine during the rest of the night and I continued observing until 
3:30am when thicker clouds rolled in. I waited until 4:00am and I then 
proceeded to close up and filled the dewar. With no imminent lightning 
threat I decided to keep all the computer systems up and running until 
I wake up at noon.
