[Chaos-l] Thanks Tony!

[Jon Stewart-Taylor]

Hi all.  I'm always amazed by the generosity of people in this hobby.   
Due to our packing up the house, when i arrived at Farrington tonight,  
i found i didn't have my table (meh), observing chair (umm), or  
eyepieces (eep!).  Tony was kind enough to lend me a 20mm, and i  
managed to observe the majority of the doubles on my observing list  
for the night.  Only 5 more to go out of the 100 on the AL list.  I  
also found out where Lacerta is.

Thanks again, Tony, for turning a night which would have be hardly  
better than a day at work into a night which was a _lot_ better.   By  
the way, the "What did i see" page seems to have disappeared from the  
CHAOS web page.  I have a local copy, and the entry for M45 is:

   M45 (Pleiades): 410 LY away, 10 LY across. Contains about 250 stars

So, i had the right order of magnitude, but i had the coefficients  
wrong.  Which is part of the reason i made the page in the first place.
