Looks like Flagstaff dipped to 32F this morning, so I'll bet that some meadows 
in the area were cooler.

It was very pleasant in Tempe this morning, where I had my first view of the 
season of Mars.  The 10" disc showed only some dusky markings and a 
moderate-sized polar cap in the still-turbulent seeing.

The moon's phase was perfect.  The Straight Wall was a bright line, and the 
tops 
of the lunar Apennines were lit well beyond the terminator.  A shadow from the 
central peak of Alphonsus extended all the way across the crater floor before 
ending on the rim.

Sure wish I could lift myself out of bed at 3:00 more often.

Tom
