At 11:45 heavy haze passing over. Clear at 12:00. Moved R.A. slow motion - 2 rev. at 12:16 Bal. 103. Moved R.A. slow motion + 2 rev. at 12:41 Bal. 103. Closed at 13:36 Bal. 103. After drying dew off lens and resetting Var. Star. App., found region too hazy to warrant starting another exposure at present.
