Results:
A storm front came through Saturday, clearing began around midnight, but it didn't last. Ted Swift at home, Kirk and I from home, Karl from home - all set up or almost set up, and got clouded out. Kirk came closest to a good outcome, getting on-target with the scope, but a last minute cloud ruined. I got partially set up at the foot of the driveway, but it did not clear enough to even find two alignment stars.
