Problems: 

NBTW was smooth again, the only problem was the sky.  Surprisingly, we had 5 good hours until 1230am, observing 14 stars, and then the clouds moved in.  We took a few more frames but deleted them because no useful signal on the faint M dwarf was secured.

Comments: 

Just a few notes for our beloved schedulers:

* dropped RMS1624+2254 --- battling clouds --- deleted from queue

* passed on GAI1955+0624_SB --- is it about 5" north of a VERY bright star? --- deleted from queue

* dropped GJ0852A and all stars after
