Two nice night of observing at Sentinel/Schwaar. Fri Night we had 4 vehicles
and 7 observer. Plenty of clearsky most of the night, but woke up the rain Sat
morning. The storm mostly bypass the us though.
Returned from a hike Sat. P.M. to find 12+ vehicles and scopes galore filling
the field. Clear skies all night long! Around 4 A.M. we sat down and watched a
nice display of early Leonids.
A bonus surprise was having the Border Patrol trucks turn off thier headlight
as they passed us after they could see that they were disturbing our star
party. Lynn

The Canadian forecast model for transparency was right on, as it showed clear
sky over Sentinel until about midnight, and then clouds. That's how it played
out.
We arose at 7 a.m. to this scene, which added some urgency to the teardown.
