Worked for 8 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

   Clouds all night.

   Mid: Seeing 1.7 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Fairly thick cloud cover caused issues with finding targets and guide stars all night.
Ran into an issue with the telescope drifting in the E-W direction, which seemed to only happen when guiding. This disrupted a few observations, particularly at the end of the night.
