Howdy; It is noon and there is not a cloud in the sky. Last night Matt and I did some "side by side" observing. Putting the same object in my 16 inch and in Matt's 4 inch refractor. A very interesting study in two very different scopes. We did objects in Cepheus and Cassiopeia. Lots of fun. I gave the seeing and transparency a 7 out of 10, a very nice night. As the dust settles out from the wind storm I think it may get better, we shall see.
