(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
I opened at 18:20 to mostly clear skies.  There was varying cirrus all
night, getting worse during second half.  The seeing was briefly good
at the beginning of the evening but soon deteriorated.  It seemed to
be strongly position dependent (most data were taken facing away from
the wind).  Around 21:00, the wind picked up and seeing became worse
all round.  The telescope and SPIcam behaved admirably, and I didn't
detect any tracking glitches.
