Observing
Location		New York City
Observational
Period
Atmospheric
Conditions		I had to be out of the house all day today so saved the morning CSC forecast in case I wasn't able to get the one covering tonight't observing period when I got home. The forecast at that time was for the first day with an observable sky in a while. I was sorry that I had a holiday party to attend tonight.

When I got out of the party I looked up and was surprised to find the sky almost completely overcast. Arriving home I saved the updated -- as of 1300 in some unknown time zoone -- forecast, which was still predicting an observable sky.

They weren't even close tonight.

Disclaimer
This is my personal record of my astronomical observations. It was written for my personal reference. The only reason it is in a blog is that a blog is a very convenient way to get the records formatted more or less uniformly and they will, hopefully, have greater longevity at Google where the servers are backed up than on my hard drive which never gets backed up. I occasionally include copyrighted material in my posts. I do this to make it convenient for me to access things I think I might want to refer to again. I think of this like making a photocopy of something I read that I put in a file where I can find it when I want it. As I understand copyright law, as explained in the DVD series Copyright Compliance by Chip Taylor Communications, this use is allowed under the Fair Use doctrine since I am not making any money on this blog, I don’t publicize the blog, and only occasionally post small excerpts of copyrighted works.
