Notes:
1. Sky 5% obscured by thin high cirrus clouds which were not a factor in 
limitiing visibility.
2. Light haze. LM declined to 0 or -1 towards horizon.
3. Facing to the east, view centered between Cassiopeia and Great Square, 
nearly at the zenith.
4. Peripheral field of view obscured 10% by trees.
5. All three sporadics came from general direction of Capricorn, haze on 
the horizon prevented accurate assignments of radiant.
