In Central Virginia it has yet to clear completely after several weeks of
daily rains.  Yesterday and today it finally did not rain, but the sky
seems rather hazy.  Better to wait until next year when We will be back
under better night sky conditions.  All those years of 7.0 Limiting
Magnitude skies in the Florida Keys and Everglades still has me rather
"spoiled!" :)
