Hi all,

A little late I know, but here are images I made from July 27. I'm hoping for a break in the weather for more imaging tomorrow morning. Seeing was pretty good for these images.

Paul,

Fantastic image. I could be wrong, but I think I detect some localized dust activity near the meridian. I'm going to give Mars a try tomorrow morning if the haze to my East isn't too bad.
