Thanks for the heads-up Kurt.
A couple of quick pictures here (lower left corner of the page): http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=68&g2_page=6
92% humidity and a couple of degrees above freezing so everything is wet.
Nice photos. I decided to brave the humidity last night, since its been about 2 months since there have actually been reasonable observing conditions. In spite of the high humidity, I didn't have frost problems (I was at Rockport, so the temp was below freezing). Two hours, 22 Herschels. Transparency was terrible, but it was still a good time.
