New Moon June 1st

  Since that observing session before dawn on May 30th we've had some good observing weather. 
  It was mostly clear but a little hazy on the night of May 30th - May 31st. I had to be up early on May 31st so I did no observing. 
  By the evening of May 31st we had some high cloud overcast due to a weak cold front moving through the area, and these clouds persisted through the evening of May 31st - June 1st. 
  Now on the morning of June 1st skies are very clear and sunny, and the cold front is supposed to have taken away some of the high heat and humidity we've been experiencing. I think tonight will feature some great observing conditions before the weak cold front is supposed to back up as a warm front on Thursday the 2nd. 
   New Moon takes place at 21:03 June 1st (5:03 PM June 1st our time) so there will be no moonlight interference tonight.
