Clouds
Lots of clouds to start the night, kept periodically checking while using RM but it never cleared up. Forecast was for the clouds to be pretty common until ~3am local, which would not provide enough data, so did not observe.

Clouds
Projecting to be cloudy all night. Periodically checked the all sky camera while RM was still running, and the clouds were always present. So, decided to punt on the night of observing.

Clouds
Started late due to heavy cloud prediction, but the night was very clear throughout. Observed WD 1612+554, a white dwarf that should be pulsating.
