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

[walter fowler]

I think the heat has made everyone on the listserve sleepy - it's hard to stir up much enthusiasm right now.  Let's try again in a week or so.  In the meantime, the real longrange planners of CHAOS have picked Sat. Aug. 27 as the date of the CHAOS picnic at Bill Walser's house.  How's that for getting everyone's attention?  More about all this later.  Walter

  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<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.
