My first 4 attempts at sending this got blocked by TACs spam filter. So
let's try one more time.

There were 5 scopes at Coe on Saturday. It started off nice with cloudless
skies, although the seeing was very soft. As the night progressed the
transparency dropped fairly steadily. By 10:30pm the transparency was very
bad (perhaps a very thin layer of clouds) and thick clouds could be seen
moving in from the west. This prompted everyone to pack up and leave. I was
the last one to leave at 11:00.

Although a short night it was still very nice to be out again.

I'm curious about observing conditions last night at Fremont Peak and Coe.
I was stuck at home, but did manage to get a short peak of Saturn from the
backyard where seeing was a bit soft.
