    Weather is good enough...for now.
    
    I see the same thing that Shawn sees at the coord's Arne passed on:
    18:59:32.95 +42:24:12.2 J2000
    
    Using GSC 3127-1780 (approx mag 13.2)....  V358 Lyr is mag 16.0
    unfiltered.  I can continue unfiltered time series for another three
    hours (too low)...or cirrus clouds cut me off.
    
    I'm also running a BVRI repeated sequence on the other scope.
