The statistics from the all-sky cloud camera for a single night. Each set of statistics is for the distribution of counts (units for counts are arbitrary) in the central 100x100 region of a single cloud camera image after flattening, noisefixing, etc. Each set is timestamped with the time the data was obtained.
