Observing Summary:

There were clouds to begin the night. I started observing around 10:30 PM. 
There were many periods of clouds nearly covering the whole sky, then going
away, then coming back. Even when there weren't noticeable clouds, the
seeing wasn't that great.

I also almost literally ran into a skunk outside by the little steps. He didn't
seem concerned about my flashlight or my presence!
