Observing Summary:

Started the night and humidity quickly rose. We were forced to shut down very shortly after opening. Around 3 am the humidity dropped and we opened again. We observed one target.

During the night we had three separate issues: the mirror cover didn't open right away, the paddle stopped working, and the dome was off.
