[Chaos-l] Astronomy Day Status

[walter fowler]

I'm planning on being there at 2:30 or so since I've never been to the park
and want to look around a little bit.  I have the scope with the solar
filter (maybe someone else does, too) so the longer I'm there the better the
chance someone will get a peak at the sun.  For some reason, I keep thinking
of the Venus Transit observing session - that's what I bought the solar
filter for.  Hope for better luck this time.  Walter
