Heya,

Woke up to fog and clouds, a little rain. But around 10:30am I had some low transparency but it was fairly bright, so I figured, why not try? I figured if nothing else I could at least take a look at small scale. While imaging, the seeing was ok, not great, moments were good, and clouds were passing, but as it got later and seeing fell apart, the clouds gave way a little more, still some clouds in the way, but manageable. Ultimately was not able to get good seeing for all three wavelengths, mostly suffered near noon when I finally got around to attempting white light and the seeing was gone by then, so I got soft results. But, managed to get some interesting stuff in HA & Cak earlier.
