Gloria 2nd half observing specialist: R. McMillan The telescope was closed almost all night due to early rain and high humidity. Around 04:15, the wind shifted and dropped and the humidity unexpectedly plunged, so I was able to obtain a reasonable set of observations for UW02 during twilight time after everyone had given up home.
