[Lvas] Maiilncam: Was Green Lasers

[Martin Suñer Hilario]

I would like to hear how the Mallincam performs on the crab in urban skies
tonight. I hope a little bit of windiness will be ok with you!

If there is a chance that you are viewing around 7:00pm...just to give a
heads up, my family and I may be around the area viewing Christmas lights
and maybe we will have a rare chance to view along as well lol.
