I'm not hopeful. Dammit. That's the problem with astronomy — the major element in whether you actually get to see anything in a given night is completely out of your control. For long term observing it doesn't matter so much, because not every night will be cloudy, but for particular rare events, it can suck. Yeah, it’s cloudy as hell right now. I’m not hopeful. Dammit.
