Had broken clouds virtually all of first half. Eventually closed at 01:05, due to dusty conditions. Reopened at 03:20 and closed at 05:15. Cloud camera (IRSC) stalled again tonight. Did not start DIMM, due to first half cloudy condtions and later 2nd half closure (dusty conditions). Did not switch over to SPIcam for Lens monitoring, due to marginally dusty conditions. The chance of later possible Lens data versus definite ongoing DIS spectra.
