   Fog all night.

Observing Summary:

Observations by Demitri Muna (observer) and Kelly Denney (remote).

The dome was never opened due to clouds and high humidity.

Tried to take flats and arc calibrations despite the bad weather. The flats didn't look good;
they kept coming out such that the upper left corner of the field is much brighter, dropping
to the same level as a bias in the lower right. I took a Xe comp, and the lines were 90° from
what was expected.

Executing  mirror out  leaves the mirror status in Prospero stuck on  MOVING 
occasionally as well, eventually moving back to  IN  or  OUT .

Got en error when executing  call roi4x1k  (see report).

Unable to get a proper flat or comp, called it a night at midnight. Dewar was refilled
at 05:10.
