[Chaos-l] Observing tomorrow (Sat, 8/7)

[Jon Stewart-Taylor]

Hi all.  Jayme said:

Despite what it looks like outside now, the forecast is good.  To  
quote the Wonderground:

> Tonight: Mostly clear. Patchy fog after midnight. Lows in the upper  
> 60s. Northeast winds 5 to 10 mph.

and the CSC predicts both clear and decently transparent from 8:00  
on.  Can't beat that in August.

So, i'll be visiting Jayme's house from shortly before sundown 'til at  
least midnight.  It hasn't got the best horizons, but it's about a  
half magnitude darker than (and about the same distance away as)  
Farrington, and a lot closer than Medoc.  If you haven't been to  
observe there before, tonight will be a good opportunity.  Come out  
and observe some sky!
