If you had seen my skies at 3:30 you wouldn't have thought it possible to get anything, but the skies got better and I got 29P and 17 T2.

From the images (and I will analyze it later today), I would say that it was between 12.0 and 13.0 based on the magnitudes of surrounding stars. Of course, the analysis will tell the tale.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Also, got 65P, 16 R2, and 17 K2 in the evening when the sky was in better shape.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">For those of you that don't know Southern California, we sometimes get monsoon moisture from the Gulf of Mexico.
