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

The first night of the new semester went without a hitch. We had a blanket of thin cloud with us the whole night and the seeing was slightly below average, but very stable. The conditions weren't quite good enough to take full advantage of a fresh queue, but we were able to observe P2's for most of the night.
