This is a tough event in a cirrus sky. Beware. 35 degrees from a full moon, and weather calls for some milky skies. Only 0.5s duration. This will be very tough.

I had written this one off. But 40 min before the event, I looked out and could see Procyon, and saw the cloud forecast was going to slowly improve as the night wore on, and decided to go for it, given it was supposed to be a home event. I did get a recording through the clouds, but the target star was only just barest of detectable by eye at 8x on-screen. Not reduced, probably lost in the cloud noise.
Now reduced. Indeed, the target star was as close to lost in the noise as it's possible to be, and still be barely detectable on a 111 frame finder integration. PyOTE light curve did mostly hang above zero, but a 0.5s event was not detectable. No submission of data was done.
