[Chaos-l] Updated web pages... Also: Changes at Dark Site

[Jon Stewart-Taylorj]

Hi all.  I've modified 3 web pages:

   o Added the January meeting to minutes.  
   o Added the post-paddle sessions to the observing sessions page.
   o Updated the CHAOS Calendar for February and March.

The calendar now includes the NCMNS AstroDays and the Creekside event in March If you have any other events which need to be added, please let me know.

In regard to the Dark Site at the Currin's:  The field we used to observe in has been plowed, and will be planted.  Obviously, it's not available for observing any more.  

There is still room behind the shed for 2-3 cars and scopes, although being right next to the shed blocks the east. if you don't mind carrying your equipment, there's an access road which goes from the driveway into the old field, and you can set up along it. In addition, if you continue on past the shed, there's an open field with room for another 5 cars or more.  This may actually be a better location for observing: it's at the top of a small hill and has a better horizons east through west, in exchange for a relatively high northern horizon.  

My recommendation: observe at the north field unless it's full.  Steve and i observed from there last Friday, and it went very well.

Hope that's useful.
