Well, I *FINALLY* got a few clear hours of sky-time last night, here in the new 
Cloud Capital of the World. (!$#!@#$ hurricanes).

And, once again, I was shoed away by the skunks, this time well before dawn! 
Something must be done about these critters, or I'll have to wait for the deep 
winter to observe again! Anybody know a True Home Remedy for skunk infestation?


Saw three possible Ari-Tri candidates (reserving judgement till I've had another 
look at the plots), and three (possibly four) very nice DAUs. I also caught two 
meteors of less than five degrees length last night, one with a brief train.

And I saw a BEAUTIFUL sloooow sporadic (handily a 1 on the NAMN scale) covering 
some 20 degrees in just under three full seconds. Not bright (mag 2.5), and no 
color, so an unlikely reentry candidate. But it sure was a thrill.

I also MAY have photographed one Ari-Tri and two DAUs in the same image, 
depending on whether I actually tripped the !$%!@#$% cable release unknowingly 
near the START or END of that exposure. x^*

Clear skies!
Lew
