I went out for several hours this morning (09/10 August) as the weather forecast is debatable for Sunday morning and is bad for Monday morning; possibly Tuesday morning will be ok??

Considerable horizon haze the entire session.  Also for a while quite cloudy - so a long break.  
Highlight of the session was a -4 yellow Antihelion.  No Perseid fireballs were seen.
No ERI's were seen.
