Description:
Just a brief glimpse, as I got ready to
start my pre-dawn commute to the Lab. I
could easily spot the "fuzzy" star at 7x
free-handed. Using the car to steady my
hands, I could even guess at the central
core concentration (relatively low). No
stars could be resolved, and under such
conditions not much else could be logged.
NOTE: This log is also a TEST of the Web
interface to the IAAC!
