Observing Specialists: G.Saurage
AzVeloScale: 576.0, 577.4; 576.7 (changed to 577)
Storms were building to the SW all first half. We had clouds on and off but managed
to stay open and get some data. Guiding on NA2 the AutoFocusRev14 script worked
pretty well considering the clouds. We closed just before second half and weather
conditions only worsened as the night went on. Raining after 4am...
