    Very common this winter season: even a clear day is followed by
    a cloudy night. (But it appears that this is only on a 200-300 km 
    coastal section near Stockholm - 90% of Sweden has clear and colder 
    nights)
    
    Yesterday also, but it was transparent, but not
    enough to attempt searching for the 14.762 elset below.
    For the 14.720 elset I got out too late, just one minute
    before the 20:17 pass above eta Her.
    I searched in vain for 9 minutes, but my 7*50 limit in the haze was +6.5
    
    -15 degrees C
