It appears there has been a recent bout of good seeing in various regions, as per the clock.
Although I wasn't able to get up to Mt Pinos in my area Friday night, seeing was forecast to be excellent for several late night hours and fog and cloud cover likely hid the light dome from Los Angeles since it was foggy here in Santa Clarita/Castaic last night. Wish I could have been at Pinos...
