    Can't make it up to MB but I did observe on my deck last night and will
    again tonight. The full moon doesn't keep me inside a bit when it's so
    comfortable outside after sunset. The seeing last night was outstanding
    here near the ocean in Monterey--a rarety. The air above was so still
    that Sirius and all the other visible 1st mag stars didn't have a
    twinkle. I was able to observe Jupiter and Saturn very clearly above
    400x with my 10" Mak-Cass. Double stars all split beautifully with nice
    even diffraction patterns that didn't waver. What a night! Is this
    winter?
