8. Comments
I was notified by the Clear Sky Alarm Clock that the seeing would be good. I went out at about 10:30 pm CDT and the Southern sky, where I had planned to look, was so hazy I couln't even see the bright constellation stars. I went out at about 11:00 pm CDT again and it was the same. I didn't bother to setup my telescope to make the observations listed above.
