Norman, the report sounds promising for the peak night. But, are you
pulling my leg with LM=7.3 ??? Did you estimate this by counting stars
in the IMO fields, or did you actually see a 7.3 star?

The best I have ever done, at the 7000' level on Mauna Kea is 6.6, and I
have pretty good night vision.
