[AZ-Observing] The Sky this AM

I was up at 1 AM today and the sky was the best I've seen it in a 
long time. There were a few scattered clouds to the W and SW, but 
otherwise very clear and transparent. The UBV photometry was very 
good even though I was observing through an air mass of nearly 2.

I was taken back a bit as i could see stars via naked eye that I have 
not seen from my backyard in many years.

I suspect we may be in for some good night skies this fall.

Jeff
