[Chaos-l] Paddling Under the Stars May 18 - CHAOS telescopes welcome

[Mark South]

Hi Amy,
Last time Greg and I set up on the field just as you come in on the  
immediate left. We've found it to have less light from the trucks and  
somewhat less ambient light because the trees block Chapel Hill  
light.   Unfortunately, last time we had an outing I didn't realize  
another CHAOS group was on the other side of the field!    So I agree  
with Robert that we should go to the same place and decide ahead of  
time.

I'm not going to be able to make this outing, but I really wish I  
could go to this.  It sounds really fun.
Mark
