Rick, I'm an EVAC member and one of the photo editors at the Republic. The Associated Press transmitted your and Joe's photo on their national wire service. That's where we got it.

The AZ Republic did not notify us that they were going to use it, nor did they give us the credit for the photograph. Such is life. . . Rick Scott astro wrote on 8/31/2007 2:44 PM: The AZ Republic has on its front page info about the Aurigid meteor shower. It tells where and how to observe and keep track of any meteors seen in real time. I had presented the article info to AZ breaking news writer Nikki Renner for her front page write up. I am up to meeting at Picket post. What time?

Despite the Full Moon and likely poor transparency, I think it might be worth a trip. Picketpost would provide a good view to the north-northeast. I'm a definite maybe for being there.
