No equipment or software problems were encountered.

   Clouds from 2AM until close.

Observing Summary:

Clear skies and good weather for the first half of the night. By about 1AM cirrus clouds began to form, and by 2AM they spanned the sky. 
I temporarily closed the dome at around 2AM due to the control room weather display reporting  precipitation likely , however, it never did rain, and the humidity stayed around 40% or lower most the night.
The skies didn't clear up by 4AM, past which I wouldn't have enough time to start and complete a full mask, so I closed the dome and ended the night.
