Woke up at 4:15 UT and the sky had cleared a bit.
Lot of moisture in the air and the full moon made the sky milky.
Could observe a few satellites before the haze/high fog blocked
the stars. Only the moon just visible in a big halo.

All satellites have higher residuals, mostly due to older TLE's; see below.
