Had to move the clock ahead an hour(how stupid).The westerly winds were howling all night and blew away all of the Jersey pollution,the seeing was good even though I still have 25 to 35 mph winds from the West.Plenty to see on the limb,not much on the disk.

Great sketch, captured what I just saw! A few hours to your south down here, it's equally blustery with mediocre seeing, but nice & clear. Low power views are best...
Nice bunch of proms!
Sunny skies,
Jim

Thanks for the report, Ralph.
Been a few weeks since I last used my PST. Not too bad observing outside in short sleeves.
