Shifting clouds made observing very frustrating. Whenever I managed to get a fix on something the clouds would block it out... oh well...guess that's part and parcel with the hobby.

I did however learn a couple of things...first I've learned to get dressed better. Particularly my legs and my ears. My new hoodie is heavy enough to keep my upper body warm with a tshirt underneath.  Also realized that my red flashlight might be too bright, because stars kept disappearing, but that might have been the result of the clouds.  I'll need to wait and see.  Lastly, switching between glasses on and glasses off causes me focusing issues/concerns; Need to consider wearing contacts when observing.
