Night started off relatively clear, but conditions deteriorated quickly after 2230 as high clouds approached the area. 

Spent the night observing with bunkmates again as my mount was still acting up. Fernando treated us to many Hershel objects in his 16 inch dob as he is working on that list. Chad, being a relative newcomer to the hobby, showcased many of our "old friends" through his 8 inch dob.  

By 2200, lightening off in the distance lit up the horizon. The outflow brought higher humidity and wind, dew quickly accumulated on everything. Was funny watching all the scopes on the field slowly point eastward trying to stay ahead of the clouds and maximize our observing that night. Finally packed things in around 2300.
