Summary

00:00 UT communication from Jeff Urban:
We will stay with the dome closed all the night for technical problem.
It to risky to unwrap the instruments from the cover, because there are chance of sudden rain and there
are not enough people during the night to cover them again.
Conditions at 00:00 UT: Humidity 97.9%, dew point 9.5\xB0C, temperature 10\xB0C

05:30 UT Conditions are better than expected. It is possible to open the dome

05:00 The TO tell us that it could be possible to open the dome. We are waiting for updates.

05:13 We have woken MODs and taken a test image (sieveSnap.pro)
