    Good news from Gameheaven. At the same time, we (Jeff, Mike Q and I) were able to observe round Venus low over the western horizon from Watson from about 8:40 to 9pm. In binoculars, Dobson and with the naked eye.

    About 10 visitors came later. Also two astronomy and physics students, I think from MN State University Moorhead, Emily is from Rochester, her friend is not. Perhaps they could give us a talk on their astronomical research sometime in future. There was a bit of a haze across the sky, we couldn’t see the Milky Way. That’s consistent with the lower limit magnitude in Gameheaven that you published.
