After several days with clouds it cleared on Xmas eve for a short period. On Xmas morning it was clear when I got up in time to observe Superbird A. But a band of clouds moved over and nothing was seen. The sky was very clear in between the clouds, that passed over from time to time. I had to stop early because thicker clouds came in with even some rain.
