Hmm.  There was no "Marty" at the Antennas on Saturday night.  No one who
was there had a DSM (to my knowledge).

Randy Peterson reports "Marty" got a reading of 21.3 at Antennas on 
Saturday night (no time specified).

And Bill Van Orden ("Beevo") reported these readings for Farnsworth 
Ranch on Friday, vs. 21.2 by Tom Polakis on Saturday night (I stand 
corrected!):

>>I had a few readings Friday night at the AASP of 21.2x to 21.34
I know Ken Sikes took some readings also
Beevo<<


The sky seemed rather "grey" to me on Thursday and Friday nights (at 
Fountain Hills), but fairly dark with good contrast on the Milky Way, 
etc. at Farnsworth Ranch at the A-ASP on Saturday night; although around 
sunset, there was obviously dust layers near the horizon on Saturday.  
When I observed the area of Canis Major and Puppis with my 8x40 
binoculars ca. 5:15 am Sunday morning at Farnsworth Ranch, the air 
seemed to have cleared near the horizon.  Many smaller stars were 
visible brightly below Sirius, down to Canopus.  I easily spotted 
several brilliant M clusters in the area with the binoculars...
