[Chaos-l] Time to start thinking about the Perseids

[Jon]

Hi all.  It's about time to start thinking about this year's Perseid 
meteor shower.  According to the IMO calendar 
(http://www.imo.net/calendar/cal05.html#perseids), the best night for 
view locally (weather permitting) will be the night of August 11-12.  
Unfortunately, that's a Thursday-Friday.  The 12-13th may also be 
reasonable, and is a Friday-Saturday: more manageable for those of us 
who have to work.

There is no officially schedule CHAOS observing session that weekend.  
There is a Morehead session, but it ends at 10:30, several hours before 
the best Perseid viewing.

Would there be any interest in a club session at the Oxford site?  If 
so, on which night (Thursday or Friday)?

J.
