The seeing is still horrible tonight. We started with MIRC combiner, but couldn't lock fringes. After
a few hours of trial, we switched to CLIMB which wasn't able to lock fringes either. The seeing got
slightly better towards the end, and we observed two science targets, but the data quality probably
wasn't good.
