Comments: 

We observed the entire night with variable seeing, between 0.8" - 1.2", yet with transparency between ~95-100%. The humidity began to rise up, and with it the seeing and the wind speed, after 02:00 local time but stayed within acceptable limits. The seeing got better (~0.95") close to the end of the night.
