Bill,

Sorry but I must have been in a New Years state of mind  and put the switch
in the Southern direction before turning in. Will try and keep it West 
tonight!
In the Southern direction I did see both W and M  at times.
 That was an interesting phenomenon!

The good news is I did see IP last night
 and also saved a lot of money on my car insurance!  :-)
