    Friday night clouded out
    
    Saturday night was wind chill of single digits, failed to see a few
    satellite tries then messed up asteroid occultation (yes, again, Derek, this
    time the Palatia event)
    
    Sunday night, conditions were very bad, just managed to see Intelsat 11
    (32253) flaring to 6th mag in binoculars and get very poor residuals on:
