[Chaos-l] [Medoc-mountain-men] PROGRAM MEDOC TOMORROW

[Robert Nielsen]

Yeah ... it looks great now, but that's what the CSC predicted.   Unfortunately, the CSC also predicts increasing cloudiness over at Medoc.   The question is "when will it arrive?"   The public program is over pretty early, so we might get to show them some stuff.

>> Yeah it will now be a last-minute decision for me Allen given the forecast for Raleigh is 70% cloud cover and Enfield a solid 46%.  I think if I make the 3-hr RT I'll just bring my DSLR to demonstrate simple wide-field astrophotography and prove that stupid commercial on TV is Hollywood staged!  (you know, the boy/girl story where she enjoys the starry sky and moves away so the boy camps out and images with a DSLR to make a time-lapse all-sky video then he emails to her - ridiculous!  Reminds me of astroporn on the side of telescope boxes at BJ's warehouse tonight!  Cool commercial though!
