Night 3: Beautiful ... got pretty cold in the end but prefect observing conditions - 3/5 seeing. No light pollution, a clean horizon and little haze made for nice observing of many far north objects that are normally more of a challenge... Only the cold drive us all inside in the end.
Night 4: Another clear night, very still so more dew than night 3. I had to bail out at around 1:30am when the field was still a buzz with observers. It was nice to see some new faces even for the final night.
I can't recommend this event enough for future editions - great observing field, decent food, good company and great a comm options.
For the nerds - I had SQM readings of 21.8+ every night once Venus buggered off... about 21.7 before that. I observed a number of mag 13 and 14 galaxies in my 16" ... I'm calling that pretty good conditions !
