I was up a few times Friday and Saturday and peeked out, and each time it appeared to be at least partly cloudy with semi-poor transparency. That and the non-posting regarding this topic to the group that leads me to believe that the outing did not fare so well. Steve, please prove me wrong and tell us that there is *something* to report........ There's still time, and we've all been good astronomers, so be sure to add "clear, transparent, and steady skies" to the list you leave for Santa next to the milk and cookies. May 2004 bring us the clear, transparent, and steady skies every bit as good as the rest of the world thinks it is here. And lastly, please allow me and mine to wish you and yours a dubiously early Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
