A brief OR. Seven of us were at Coyote Lake last Saturday (9th) night.

Near sunset there were a few small clouds. The transparency didn't look very good.
When it got reasonable dark a few us looked at Saturn. The seeing was a soft but
good
enough to see the Cassini division. Maybe an hour later we looked at Jupiter. It
was lower
and soft. It would "pulse" grow larger and smaller. I could see the GRS. One of
the moons
went behind Jupiter.

We left about 2am. By that time the sky was quite good. We had dew but it wasn't
too bad.

How was the wind at Coe? It wasn't bad at Coyote.
