[Chaos-l] Observing Tonight!

[Robert Nielsen]

Jon,

I  thought I had announced a 7:00 PM departure from ECHHS (perhaps it was 
implied from the 7 PM departure if we had gone last night after the 
planetarium observing session) ... and that is the earliest I will be able 
to leave ... given my duties as family photographer and the fact that ECHHS 
has their prom tonight.   So there might actually be two caravans to the 
dark sky site ... one at 6:30 (with Jon) and one at 7:00 (with me, Robert).

In either case, I agree with Jon ... I think tonight is going to be above 
average, perhaps even exceptional at the dark sky site.   So if you are 
interested, meet us at the bus parking lot at ECHHS this evening, and bring 
some warm clothes.
