All in all, maybe 90% clouds before midnight. I went out to inspect the weather roughly every 30 minutes, and often found enough clear sky to make a prediction. Each time, I found all prepared points hidden by clouds, and more coming. A fine chance to recover USA 116, the stars were crisp at 11 deg altitude (eta+pi Her) where it was to pass. 3 min before the predicted pass they were covered in clouds,from the N. I had the telescope out in case I could find KH 9-16 on a near-zenith pass around 05:05 local time, but found the scope covered with 1 cm snow, and the sky with 100% clouds. Today, we had 4 cm more, and 100% clouds. -5 degrees C. -- Björn Gimle -- -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, 59.2615 N, 18.6206 E, 33 m -- -- COSPAR 5918, HAMMARBY, 59.2985 N, 18.1045 E, 44 m -- -- COSPAR 5920, FRUVIK, 59.3260 N, 18.4820 E, 11 m -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
