Observing Specialist: Camron Hastings
    I never opened the dome this evening due to clouds, rain and high
humidity. I am managing to get a lot of work done on the Operator's
Manual though! :) I continue to be impressed with the precipitation
sensor, it goes off at the slightest drop of rain, but not a second
sooner. It is nice to have, especially on these long nights of clouds
where you just do not go out to check very often because you know it
is cloudy.
