Last night was just so-so. I gave seeing a 6 and transparency a 7.
Rich Walker gave them 5 and 7 respectively. Seems to me the breezy
conditions were still active in the winds aloft. This didn't stop the
four of us from doing so observing, but nothing very serious. Had
excellent view of the Ring in Rich's 13.1", NGC6645/40 in Chuck Aker's
17.5" (See image posted by Jon Christensen at
http://christensenastroimages.com/clusters/ngc6440-6445.htm from two
days ago) and the Crescent Nebula in Ken Reeves's 20" (he calls this one
the ear!).
Regardless of the so-so seeing we all enjoyed being out under the stars
and having cool weather.
We began packing up around 11:30pm but the moon didn't rise until much
closer to midnight.
Clear skies to all,
aj
