The sky is moslte clear. 02:28Z humidity and dew point are at the limit. I decided to cautiously start ventilation in hope to have time for focus loop test. I was close to open, balancing at the edge with humidity, but then clouds emerged on top of us, and later humidity jumped over the limit. Ventilation was stopped. 11:15Z call it a night. Calibrations and LN2 fill started.
