Video Observations from Southern CA USA, December 30, 2009

After a couple of days of clouds the skies cleared tonight. The timing was perfect as more clouds arrived at dawn and did not affect
observations. Rates were reduced due to the bright moon but the transparent skies still made observations worthwhile.
