Summary
Due to the covid-19 pandemic situation these observations have been performed by LBTO personel

Wind gust above the limits at the beginning of the night we stay closed at sunset, we opened up at 4:50.
Poor to awful seeing all night, and frequent wind gusts over the shutdown limit.

Condition are good to open at the beginning of the night, but internet connection was lost to and from the mountain a 10 mins after 12 degree twilight. It was not recovered during the night.
Using the 4G hotspot we talked the OSA through the LUCI observations for the night. Progress was slow, but we did what we could.
Average seeing was between 2” and 3” for most of the night, improving to 1” to 1.5” for the last hour or two of the night.
