The first big thunderstorms seem to have hit, hail and all, earlier this evening. Scattered clouds continued to roll in, and threatening weather forced us to close again. No further observing was completed. OBSERVER'S COMMENTS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The weather was terrible, but I did get a couple of spectra. The telescope pointed well. J.
