Gloria 2nd half observing specialist: R. McMillan More clouds and humidity tonight, although the telescope was open for a few moderately fruitful periods. From 12:15 to 01:00, we were able to obtain some useful Shack-Hartmann data, then closed again due to heavy clouds. We re-opened at 02:45 to obtain some cloud-compromised data for UW10 and PU02, then had to close again just at the beginning of twilight.
