This is a bright event which skims the Santa Cruz coast. Can't get to the centerline w/o a drive to south of Watsonville. The centerline just touches Natural Bridges, which is where I have decided to set up. Weather is supposed to be fog-free this night. The path misses Karl entirely, and Bernard, and Sandy. Duration is 0.4s, and is only 19 degrees from the gibbous moon.
Alt=41, Az=247 in Cancer, in the WSW

clear skies, but with heavy humidity at Natural Bridges, hint of fog forming but it was clear during the event. I recorded it at 1x, with target quite faint on the monitor but the sky quite dark too. I think it'll reduce just fine
Observed from home, tried to do it with the new Astrid, but ran out of time with various learn-by-doing issues. Fumble! Better to record on the well-practiced Watec, and then swap in the Astrid and record and compare the depth of the recordings
