Gloria 2nd half observing specialist: K. Gloria The telescope remained closed tonight, mainly due to high humidity. We had nearby thunderstorms. Although it was only partly cloudy here, the relative humidity was 98 - 99%. I'm reading the humidity off of the hygrometer for the pressurization fans (which is mounted on the 3.5-m catwalk) until the dewpoint sensor is recalibrated.
