[Aavso-photometry] Photometry in a Fog

[Richard Huziak]

I agree - you should be OK, but use a lot of check stars, so you can 
figure out if your fog is consistent or patchy.  Patches moving across 
the field will show up a waves in your data.  You may also see some 
colour attenuation, but depending on the final accuracy you are looking 
for and what project you are working, fog works :-)
