Observing Summary:

A nice clear night, but somewhat breezy at times and with seeing
not quite as good as a couple of nights ago.  The airbags 
generally worked, but HP2 went bad for a bit (see trouble 
report).  Stepped out just before the start of twilight and 
saw pretty striking zodiacal light, and also a very bright 
satellite which proved to be the ISS, even though I wasn't 
looking for it.  Generally a very productive night.
