Also Present: 
Bob Armstrong, Tom Diehl, Jim Annis
Problems: 

Could not open at the beginning of the night due to poor conditions.  After we did open around 10:45 PM we had issues with obstac selecting desired field due to poor seeing conditions.  Tried to modify obstac configuration files and restart obstac but that was unsuccesful.  Had to restart entire SISPI instance.  Rest of the night data was of poor quality due to weather conditions.  Had to close the dome around 3:00 AM because the temperature was getting close to the dew point.
