Description:
I looked long and hard but didn't see a thing. The transparency was about as
good as it gets around here, I rated it at 7 before the fog began to develope,
and I was able to see a mag. 6 star about 3.6 degrees south west of k 4-55.
Unfortunately, all I saw were stars, no pn. The ultrablock filter did not help.
