[Chaos-l] Morehead observing session

[Jon Stewart-Taylorj]

Hi all.  Jayme reminded us:

> [...] an observing session for Morehead this weekend for the Perseid meteor shower. 

Specifically:

>> Saturday, August 12th, from 9-11

The observing conditions page (http://rtpnet.org/chaos/conditions.html) indicates that the skies will be improving through the night of the 12th.  I intend to treat the ECRA session as an ordinary public session, and bring my 10" dob.  After ECRA shuts down at 11 i plan to retreat to the Farrington Point site (http://rtpnet.org/chaos/farrington.html) for a Perseid session.

PS: I've been told there's a 24-hour accesible boat ramp south of ECRA, also called Ebenezer Church.  However, the one time i tried to go there, the facilities appeared to also have a 24 lighting system.  Is there a part of that facility which is sufficiently far away from the lighted area to use for astronomy?  I couldn't find one in my brief visit.
