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

[walter fowler]

Time to start making noise on the listserve if any group observing is to occur for the Perseids.  It may even stop raining by Thursday.  Was there any observing at the Oxford site this past weekend?  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.
