Observing Summary:

Cleared up around sunset, but likely non-photometric due to very
thin clouds.  A south wind of 15-20 mph with gusts about 30+mph
blew all night. Seeing started out good around 1arcsec, but
deteriorated to 2arcsed by middle of the night, with episodes
of very bad seeing (3-4arcsec) lasting minutes.  All targets 
except NGC 4593 were observed, the latter was compromised by
bad windshake.
