And while that wasn't quite the case, I was able to nab pristine views of the Ring Nebula and the M13. I wonder if it is some phenomena that makes objects between the cloudulas so sharp or if it's only another case of averted optimism? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Scott" <rmscott@xxxxxxx> To: "AZ Observing MLS" <az-observing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, September 07, 2002 2:53 PM Subject: [AZ-Observing] Cloudy weather cause by my moistons > I have to apologize for the cloudy weather we're having this weekend and > take responsibility for the clear skies we had all August.
