[Chaos-l] rain and clouds

[Michael Hrivnak]

A month ago when I tried Allen's 12x36 Canon IS binos, I nearly fell over when 
I pushed the magic button.  It was unreal!  I wrote about that experience in 
this observing report:

I'll be sure and write about first light with my pair as soon as it happens.  
If nothing else, I'm planning to go out to the Almost Heaven Star Party in 
less than three weeks, and I'll definitely bring them along.
