Night Log 2020-11-03

Summary
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Battled through some thick cloud during the first part of the night leading to quite a few low priority observations. Second part of the night gradually improved and we were able to rally some higher priority observations despite occasional fast moving thinner cloud clumps. A sneak assault by some thicker clouds towards the end of the night forced some more lower priority observations. All in all we were able to muster 16 blocks with only minor technical downtime experienced.
