Well, you did better than me. At around 1 am I saw about 4. It was 
slightly breezy and so I took my reclining lawn chair on the landing of 
the observatory to get some protection. It was a cool evening and so I 
used my 5 degree rated sleeping bag. It was so comfortable I fell asleep 
during most of the morning. I woke at around 4:30 but did not see much.
