SA: Moses SO: Austun Others: Antoine for SMI-200 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We managed to observe a few blocks at the start of the night despite some poor seeing. The humidity rose and caused us to close for the second half of the night.
