    Considering it was supposed to be overcast, last night was great. I had dilated eyes from an eye exam, so everything was very bright, especially very low, very thin Venus. Had trouble focusing though, especially early in the evening. Off and on high clouds, and never cleared up enough for telescopic work, but still a nice surprise.
    
    While waiting for 90070, 25935 PAM-D zipped by - similar speed as the 25090 PAM-D Debris that passed so close to ISS, very low and very fast in the south. I could definitely sense the danger they must've felt.
