    Hi Greg,

    The observations of all five fields (30min each)
    were just completed. We will report the seeing soon.

    We believe the sky has been clear.
    The signal from Auto Guider CCD was stable, and we didn't see
    no clouds on the cloud monitor (IR cam).

    Because we started observations at low elevations,
    the background was slightly high. So we adopt 3minx10
    options for all data sets
    (The loss time due to readout is about 1min).

    Now we have to evaluate the depth is enough or not
    by Nov.4.
