George, in looking over my printout of the report I realized I forgot to
add a note regarding sky glow in the NE. It was quite prevelant that night,
as you can see by the yucky LM in Auriga (area 17). Perhaps you could add a
short note of explaination for me to the end. I still can't figure out what
it is...there's nothing too close to the NE, but it could be Morristown, a
bastion of light pollution 20 miles distant, or it could even be New York
City and the surrounding lightburbs 35 to 40 miles distant. Some nights
it's not bad, but some nights it's really bad. Probably related to mid
level humidity.
