Note:
Seeing 5 out of 10. On the eve of Hurricane Isabel, the calm before the
storm. Cool, extremely transparent... perhaps the most transparent sky
I've see in two years.
South Polar Cap was tiny, almost difficult; even
more difficult to make out any detail in the poor seeing. Just a hint of
a North Polar hood. Blue haze on following side, seen well in white light.
