[Chaos-l] Regarding Morehead eclipse observing session.

[Jeff Polston]

The real reasoning and concerns probably stem from that kid that claimed eye

After the settlement, Morehead refused to provide details on what happened,
so I hope we don't accidentally repeat it from the lack of knowledge.

He had some reasonable concerns, and please be sure to read his post.

Thanks.
