    OUr third night was beautifully clear. Unfortunately, the seeing was
    atrocious through most of the night. We started at >=2", and stayed
    there for a few hours. As we got into the deep fields, it nosedived
    down to 1", and we were feeling pretty good for about an hour and a
    half. Then it rose back up and spent the rest of the night between
    1.5-2" (including most of the second deep field-- so neither deep field
    had good seeing through its time).

    Pretty dissapointing.

    I hope the search run has better luck, but I can tell already that even
    if it does, the search will be a nightmare as we trade off well-timed
    references for depth.
