Observing Summary:

We had a late start due to clouds.  We opened around 9 p.m. when 
KPNO opened.  

The dome ran away twice when we were observing stars in the
Pleiades.  We ended up moving it manually for the rest of our time
on that field.  It tracked fine when we turned it back on for the 
next field.

In oalign.py, the offsets suggested yesterday were accurate, but 
today the dx and rotator offsets were given with the wrong sign, whereas 
dy was OK.

We lost our targets behind thickening clouds and shut down 
early at 5 a.m. when Kitt Peak did.
