Observing Summary:

The evening started out with high humidity and the dome was never opened.
Spent the night getting flats and arcs, testing scripts, and determining the best
exposure times for the various lamps.

Humidity started at 85% and rose to ~95% for the rest of the night. By morning,
most of the clouds had passed, but the humidity never dropped.

Wind speed about 11mph for the whole night.

Found a bug in Prospero (see report). No impact on observations, but has the potential
to break scripts.
