Notes:
1. Considerable haze. LM applicable from zenith to -30 degrees from zenith. 
Beyond that LM declined rapidly to fully obscured. Total sky obscuration 35%.
3. Facing to the east, view centered between Cassiopeia, Cygnus, and Great 
Square, nearly at the zenith.
4. Peripheral field of view obscured 10% by trees, but not a factor due to 
worse obscuration by haze.
5. Sporadic came from the general direction of Pisces/Aquarius. Obscuration 
prevented accurate assignment of radiant.
