["Peg and Sam" <pegsam@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The clouds this morning helped make my decision not to set up a telescope at
work. I took a pair of 10x30 IS binoculars instead. High thin clouds
dissipated enough to where Venus and the thin crescent of the Moon were
visible at about 10:30. Amazingly, Venus could be seen naked eye. Very, very
cool.

I'm certain that the clouds would have never cleared had I taken the
telescope.
