 Summary:
=========

Thick clouds most of the night. Brief hole opened up toward the end and 
obtained data for NGC6946, but clouds started thickening again during this 
OB. Too thick afterwards to do another, and twilight had started. 
Open a total of about 90 minutes out of 6.5, although only an hour or so 
was fairly clear.

 Details: 
=========

02:00 	Conditions very overcast. Swing arm also not functioning at present, 
	so unable to switch to LBC-R. 
02:30 	Sunset
04:00	Conditions remain quite overcast. Swing arm also remains nonfunctional. 
	Fault seems to be with the electrical system. John Little is 
	attempting to move it with the system for the other arm.  
	Twilight ends
05:00   Swing arm functional again (probably thanks to power cycle). Clouds 
	still thick, but opened the doors to equilibrate temperatures. 
	Starting a bias sequence. 
05:30	Very briefly opened, then shut due to winds
07:30	Much clearer, but wind right at limit
09:20	Opened
09:44	Moving to NGC6946, some trouble with convergence (stopped after 5)  
 	Mirror temperature 2.5 deg high
09:55	Starting NGC6946, more clouds
10:30   Moving to NGC6503  -- checking wind (maybe false reading due to 
	telescope orientation 
 	Twilight begins
10:40   Moving back to NGC6503, runing dofpia
10:48	Clouds substantially thicker, closing up. 
12:00   Sunrise
