[Chaos-l] Observing Tonight At Dark Site

[Mark Lerch]

I'm chomping at the bit to get back out there as well.  Some of you may
remember me from a couple of years back..I used to go to the Currin's
quite a bit (as well as Falls Lake & elsewhere) to do imaging with my
Meade 8 and visual work with my Portaball.  Came with Greg Dillon quite
a bit.  Did some deep-weed observing with Greg & Mark South a year or
two back also.

Anyway, just wanted to check in during the daylight hours and say "hope
to see some of you soon, at Farrington or up there" and I hope to make
MASP this year.  I've been dealing with a lot of issues in life these
past couple of years which, thank God, are resolving and so I hope to
return under the dark skies soon.  I miss the fellowship and the stars.

P.s.  When going to the dark site I drive separately since I live quite
a ways from Chapel Hill.  I've been a member of CHAOS instead of RAC
because of going to the same site.

I would be there but have to work late tonight.   I hope you all have a
blast.  I've had 2 opportunities to observe this week  and the skies
were the best ever at Farrington that i've seen.  
Yes, I remember you Thomas.  Had fun observing back in May.  I hope your
wife is OK and have a chance to observe in a dark sky tonight!
