The high haze and cloud that had covered most of the Bay area blew out of Dino in the early evening. We had a quite good night. I have seen better -- there was still occasional impediment to transparency near the southern horizon -- I was working 33 to 39 south declination occasionally -- but in general, Harvey the C-14 was mostly working to the deep-sky limits that I expect. I logged 162 observations between roughly 8:30 PM and half past midnight. Temperature dropped to 8 C, but with little or no wind. Relative humidity peaked at 80 percent, but none of the surfaces of my car or equipment had dew on them. There was no fog.
