Observing Summary:

We began the night by taking twilight flats and were able to point the telescope to clear patches of sky between the clouds. Conditions were good from astronomical twilight until the Moon rose; however, we could not obtain useful data because guiding camera issues, moving our target out of the slit. By the time the issue was resolved, the sky had become overcast. We closed the telescope, and as of the time of writing this report (~3 am), the sky has not improved, so we will end observations for the night.
