Clouds
Clear after sunset but clouds started moving in afterwards. Closed up after about three hours. Telescope worked fine, although I noted that the target resolution feature (for slewing to a target) returned errors no matter what I put in-- I think this was due to VizieR or SIMBAD being down and not anything to do with the telescope. M31, NGC 253, ZZ Psc.

Class observing, or would have been had there been so much as a sucker hole. Did catch one attempted uncommanded dome opening (thwarted by having the power off on the switch rack).
