I'll be a no show for Friday night but am making plans for Saturday 
night.  Hoping to arrive a little on the early side to do some serious 
collimation on my telescope.  Seems the secondary rotated some on my 
last collimation attempt and was only quickly checked.  I want some 
quality time putting it back in collimation and don't want to hurry the 
job.  I do much better work when I can take my time and do it carefully.
Clear skies to us all!
