Observing Summary:

The first half of the night was cloudy.  We were able to observe for
about 45 minutes near the middle of the night, and then the clouds
came back in.  The clouds cleared out at the end of the night and
we opened for 3.75 more hours.

We had an issue with the TCS computer and submitted a Trouble Report.
Rebooting solved the problem.  We did not lose any time because
it was cloudy the first half of the night anyway.
