I cleaned up a stack of about 100 galaxies in Eridanus over the two nights of four we were able to observe.
Best,

As far as on/off weather we had a pretty spectacular lightning storm roll through on Sunday night (the 7th), but around 1:00 AM it started to clear and we ran out to the back field and uncovered the scopes. I was in shock with our apparent good luck to see clear skies, but by the time the Argo was initialized and the scope pointed at one object the whole sky shut down -- it was just one big sucker hole.
When you have the time, I hope you'll post some of your Eridanus observations.
Steve
