Hi all.  Robert said:

Pity.

These are usually a lot of fun, and a chance to do some community
outreach.

Depending on who has interest in what kind of observing.

Aye, there's the rub.  That is pretty early to have to quit.  Although
it's appropriate for younger kids.

I'm willing to try to coordinate.  Let's try a survey:

  o Who wants to observe?
  o Friday or Saturday?
  o How dark to you want it?
  o How late do you want to stay?
  o How far are you willing to drive?

Some possible locations are Farrington Point (fairly close, decently
dark) and Kerr Lake (pretty far, quite dark).  Anybody have any other
suggestions?

Thanks.
