We were open from 22:30 to 00:10, and then from 00:40 to 02:00. Seeing was excellent while we were open, perhaps approaching half an arcsecond, but because of the borderline conditions we never spent too much time fine-tuning the focus. We also had two failures of the GRIM application during first half, and several "no flush" errors.
