Good Seeing?

Maybe lots of good seeing across a big chunk of the country tomorrow morning. I've had some of the best views of Jupiter I can remember this past week, getting out around 5:30 AM. Seeing has been 4/5 on CSC here for 5 of the last 6 mornings.

It appears there has been a recent bout of good seeing in various regions, as per the clock.
Although I wasn't able to get up to Mt Pinos in my area Friday night, seeing was forecast to be excellent for several late night hours and fog and cloud cover likely hid the light dome from Los Angeles since it was foggy here in Santa Clarita/Castaic last night. Wish I could have been at Pinos...

Hi, given your apparent penchant for accuracy from the lunar eclipse discussion below, what was the actual observed seeing per the venerable Scientific 1-10 Seeing scale at the time of observation? The CSC 1-5 scale is just a prediction for advance planing purposes & should not be applied to recording actual observation conditions, eh?
