no chance for asteroid

Had hoped to see asteroid 2012 DA14 tonight. Had hoped for clear skies. In the early evening. Knew that a big 'scope would help. That we were going to the Carr Astronomical Observatory already was fortuitous. Maybe we'd get lucky. Maybe, in clear dark skies, with a large aperture, we'd be able to view (and video record) the near-Earth object. Alas, factors conspired against us.

Arrived late after a long road trip. Dinner became our first priority. And then it was cloudy.
