Notes/ Conditions |
Conditions- Seeing relatively unsteady & moist.
Transparency was reasonable on the 11th when taking the luminance frames.
The following evening on the 12th transparency was poor when taking rgb's
and deteriorated as high cloud moved in bloating & muting the blue frames some what. |
