[Chaos-l] MASP

[Jeff Wright]

While I am looking to maximize the "whoa" factor for her, I was hoping 
this would come entirely from celestial bodies... :-)

Seriously though, it sounds great. Weather issues aside, it would be 
great to get some general advice about what to expect and which days 
might be best to go. We will tote a small scope with us, but really are 
hoping folks will be willing to let us peek through their scopes. Feel 
free to reply off-list...I don't want to spam everyone with a thousand 
questions.

Cheers,

Jeff
