Quite a turn-out last night at SPOC! The sky was covered with high cirrus until about ten and not very dark, but it was better than a rain storm. It really improved just as Erik and I closed-up and left. Whoever that last hardy soul was who had a personal telescope on the grass probably had the best views of the night. I left my Caldwell & Messier cards, as well as my mini-planisphere at SPOC, either in the control room or the 32" bay. I'll try and cruise out there later today to retrieve them. They are inside a black-covered copy of the Grim operator's manual that I brought with me. And thanks to the Blanchards for some yummy treats!
