Observing Summary:

The night started with humidity near 70% and some patchy cirrus clouds, so we observed some targets for 30 minutes.
Humidity increased quickly, however, and we closed the telescope and dome when it reached 80%. 
Humidity remained above at least 85% for most of the night and cirrus clouds took over the sky.

Three hours before twilight started, humidity came back down to the mid 70s%, but the sky remained covered with high cirrus clouds.
