Observing Specialist: C.Gray
A great night!! There were only a few wisps of clouds at sunset and a few min in A half, then totally clear!! Seeing was fantastic, even at high airmass. Bonus, I got to rock GS02 work by showing them that they could script their cals and go to sleep while the exposures ran!
No problems tonight.
