Observation notes:
The session alternated between lunar, planetary and deep-sky observation, with repeated checks against older notebook entries.
Observers noted subtle differences in contrast and brightness that led to extended discussion between sessions.
Wind could be clearly heard during part of the night, yet nearby trees and grass remained perfectly still throughout the interval.
