How was it?

by Bob Jardine

FP (SW lot) was pretty nice. Mostly cloudless. Seeing was mostly very good, perhaps even occasionally excellent, but not consistently so (Saturn and Jupiter (when it got up higher) were usually stable and sometimes slowly undulating at 200X+; at near 300X, you had to wait for stable moments; I didn't try higher X). Transparency was a little bit off (mid-mag-5 skies). Dew was (surprisingly) minimal (slightly wet charts & chair seats, but no wet optics).

It was great to be out!
