    Hi,

    By the way, the weather at MK looks pretty bad again. Although we need to
    know our priorities for these faint ones, I think we also need to work out
    what will be useful for bright ones tonight.

    The summit is overcast now and the satellite map looks terrible, at least
    for the start of the night.
    e.g. look at http://www.cfht.hawaii.edu/misc/summitview.html
    and
    http://hokukea.soest.hawaii.edu/satellite/

    It would really help the Gemini scheduler if we can say how bad conditions
    we can tolerate. I guess at the moment that if we can guide we'll attempt
    supernovae - but please correct me if you think its not useful to keep
    getting bright ones.

    Thanks,
    Isobel.
