1945 Turned the scope toward Saturn. Cassini's division was immediately obvious without trying. I didn't concentrate enough to look for dimmer ones. Amazingly, it was still a razor sharp image. Counted 12 Pleiades.
Thin haze seems to be encroaching from the north now, and the sky is brightening.
Actually, it now looks like a typical night at the Peak. I also begin to notice some wide, lingering contrails. Saturn is still rock-steady at 204x. A car approaches with headlights. Eventually they shut them off and begin opening doors, the trunk, and generally exercising all the white lights built into the car.
