[Chaos-l] request -- telescope observing tonight following Morehead's "Our Vanishing Night"

Hi, all -

We've got a special planetarium program -- "Our Vanishing Night" -- 
happening tonight at 8 pm at Morehead Planetarium.  For the first time, 
we can show the sky at specific limiting magnitudes, rather than just 
using extra lights in the dome to try to simulate various levels of 
light pollution.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone would be up for bringing a telescope 
to the sundial to show off the skies after the show?  The show will end 
~8:45 pm.  The Clear Sky Clock currently suggests it will be clear in 
the 8, 9, and 10 pm hours, though it's certainly worth another check 
later in the day.

thanks,
Amy Sayle
