[AZ-Observing] Re: Pretty Good Seeing Tonight

Indeed a very nice night and early morning. I was up at 2:30 to do 
some spectroscopy and photometry. While a bit on the warm side (~85) 
it was indeed a very nice nice. Sky was ver clear nd steady.

A spectroscopic night :>)

Under dark skies the night must have been spectacular. It looks like 
it may hold for the weekend for all those DSO folks.
