[Chaos-l] Observing this Saturday?

[Mark South]

 FYI.  I'm going to be @ Farrington Pt. tonight from 7-9:30 (before the moonrise) if anyone is interested in joining me.  If it is hazy and cloudy, obviously I won't be there.   Let me know if you are coming out there.  

One of my goals tonight is catch a glimpse of a COMET mentioned in this month's issue of Astronomy magazine. I hope it won't be too hard to find.  The mag says it has somewhat of a tail on it.  I would also like to check out some stuff in Gemini (including Eskimo Neb).  

Also don't forget about Friday!

Mark
