At last, a clear night. The clouds parted finally and tonight was clear but a bit hazy and the moon is back so it wasn't a good night for deep sky stuff. I was barely able to make out the four bright stars of Corvus and had a harder time finding M104 tonight but find it I did. The missing 'star' turned out to be the one above the group of three in my sketch of May 4. It's long gone and now about a degree NW of M104. There are two groups of two tenth mag stars just at the edge of the field of my 25mm ep. These four and a fifth 10th mag star make a nice arc along the edge of the FOV. I found 7 Iris on the other side of the 'bottom' group of two. 10th mag TYC5531-01038-1
is to the southwest of Iris. Limiting unaided magnitude tonight was about 3. With my 8" dob it was about 11.
