  Crescent width                  =      .08  arc sec
  Illumination                        =    0.27  percent


Despite rain and clouds in the valley all week, Brad Schafer and I went up Mt. Lemmon to attempt this record breaking observation.  We were surprised at how clear the sky was, but I still felt that we would be fighting the haze and water vapor.  Brad explained later that water vapor would not be the villain here.  We could not see any of our guide stars at the horizon.  Only one was found a few degrees above the horizon.  Consequently, we could not be sure that we were precisely at the desired position.  We scanned way beyond the time of any resonable expectation of seeing the crescent.
