REMARKS:
I went back out at 10:15 UT (3:15AM local time) to do a morning 1 hour
TEFF observation but high thin clouds had come in and were lit up by the
moon. I could only see LM 2 stars thru this, so I watched for bright PERs
for about 15 minutes and saw 4 bright PERs including one nice -3 mag.
Decided to come in an submit this report.
No aurora seen during either observation session.
Maybe I'll go back out to see a few more bright PERs.
