Note:
Seeing 3 out of 10. Cool, humid, light wind. Cold front just broke hours
ago, several days of very hot and humid weather to provide almost spring
like conditions.
Seeing very poor, mostly 270x. Bright spot in South
Polar Cap seen visually, but was brighter with a W47 (blue) filter. Bald
spots, bright spots and notches; the SPC steals the show.
Bright area on following southern limb was slightly brighter in blue, but not much.
Other detail as might be expected, but washed out because of poor
seeing.
First observation since the birth of John Robert Bunge 7/6/03.
20-inch stopped down to 17-inches.
