The 20c test sample will be done in doors. In Montreal when the temps go
above 20 the seeing sucks. Unless you luckout and catch that magic
window right after a T-storm and the skies clear during the dark of the
moon. Saw it once back in the 70's....
Unless our weather improves, film testing or lunar work is all I will be
able to do.

Clear skies and good health
