Problems: 

None.

Comments: 

High humidity most of the night, plus very poor seeing when we did open the dome (briefly).

There were periods -- about half the night -- where we could have openned the dome, however the seeing was typically >2.5" on the seeing monitor and we chose not to observe as all of those poor quality data would have be essentially useless to our science case.
