Weather:  Clear.  Winds: ~20 mph steady
and gusts up to 25 mph.  Low dust (~1500).
On tap tonight, using the pointing model from last night for the 2.5m, we
wanted to try for spectroscopy.
We had to wait out the weather this evening as we had a thunder + hail storm
pass through at about 4:30 pm, and this left a lot of residual cloud cover.
At 10 pm, there was a start of clearing but a great deal of lightening close
to the NW of the observatory.  At 11 pm the humidity went through the roof
and was at 92% with the dew point difference of 1.2 C.  Unfortunately,
this high humidity persisted until 4:10 am, when we gave up the try in getting
spectroscopy done.
We filled the spectrographs with LN2 at 4:15 am and then went to bed.
