I was out until 11:30 and it was good, but the seeing was poor--- I could
barely resolve 1.5" double stars.

I was out back observing until close to midnight. It was 47 and not
bad. At 6 AM this morning it was 35 out back. The extinction last
night was very low, the lowest I've seen in in a long time. A great
night to observe if you could bear the cold.
