Observing Summary:

Cirrus clouds at sunset cleared up to great weather overhead. Stowed telescope / closed mirror covers at UT 09:00 due to clouds, opened again at UT 10:30 to observe some bright targets, but even those were tough. Hit a few standards and then waited it out to see if the clouds would clear. No dice. Stayed overcast until twilight.
