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

A tale of two halves in terms of seeing tonight. The first half was excellent, sub-arcsecond at times. The second half was dreadful, limiting us to P4's. It was otherwise a very smooth night. We observed many blocks including a few higher priority blocks during the good seeing.
