Notes from the 4PM Meeting and Additional Comments.

Telescope: mirror is being cleaned this afternoon, then flats will be done.

Last night was better than the previous 2 nights, although it was cloudy at the end.
Observers reported some big slews throughout the night, but this is expected.

Forecast for tonight is great. No wind. No clouds. No SN is on deadman.
