Peter was finishing up the work on KP for the first ~3 hours of the night. Our observers this night were new and going to be trained, so starting at 1 AM just didn't work well for our schedule. Looking forward to using it now that it's all back together!!

Even though "domes are open" was showing, the all sky cam showed clouds that only Jupiter was visible through.

EB. The mountain was late in announcing domes open and I wasn't able to get early flats and there was no reason to delay (humidity, winds were low and skies perfectly clear). Dome stowed at the end of the night and visual inspection of dome closing after morning flats (Bessel BVR). Both PC's showed by time.is that clocs were accurate to within a second (at least at the beginning of the night).
