first time at magellan

so far, had not much luck with 6.5m telescopes...

in '03, i spent 6 nights at mmt, a 6.5m telescope in mt. hopkins, arizona.
the first 5 nights were overcast.
it cleared up the last night, but was too humid to open.

right now am at las campanas, home to the twin magellan telescopes.
this is the 7th night.
it was totally clear the first 6.
but not this one.
another overcast night...
the second night assigned to me in this run.
