Per is the alledged minor shower for these two nights? Will check the plots
for other showers later today. In addition I had a video setup recording
the sky between PER, CYG and CAS and hope to have caught something both
nights. I have got four hours of video to watch with LM around 9th.
Should take a week to run through it all.

Pete,
Glad to hear you were out...sure would like to see your plots so that I can
give you a critique? My postal mail is:

It usually doesn't get to 20 Deg Fah. in the S. Calif. mtns...but it has and
I had some miserable times at it...but still did it ...usually all night too.
There has been many nights that I stopped at dawn to find about 3/4 inch of
frost all over the sleeping bag. Bob and I have both observed with winds
blowing in the neighborhood of 35 mph. However, if this is during a major
shower, I recommend not plotting any how and use a tape recorder doing the
"Count" method. If it's during a "no nothing special type of night"...just do
what you can hopefully in one hour increments. If you have to take a break
after each hour for a half hour do it...If it is dangerously cold...forget it
and save yourself.
