 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Thick cirrus until midnight when it cleared for about an hour before becoming
 too opaque to observe for about an hour. Clear skies for the rest of the night.
 Seeing started out excellent but was moderate to poor for the remainder of
 the night.

     Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.  The convention
     used is north=0 degrees, east=90 degrees.  The dust count is
     particles > 1u per 0.1 cubic feet.
     Note: The Tower Dust counter appears to be down at this time
