Hi all.  For those who can't take a two-day astronomy safari, tonight  
promises to be a decent one at Farrington.  I plan to be there from  
shortly before dark, and stay until after the "Paddling Under the  
Stars" crowd disperse.  According to the Clear Sky Chart, there's a  
block of yucky skies due to arrive around midnight, so it wouldn't  
make sense to stay much beyond that anyway.  They hadn't mowed the  
grass as of last week, so i'm currently planning to be at a new  
location: down the east ("left") fork, on the paved parking area.  I  
observed there last week (Hi Kumar!) and enjoyed the very low southern  
horizon.

If you'd like to get out, but were worried about security despite the  
apparent clarification of last week's incident, this would be a good  
time to get out.

J.
