[AZ-Observing] Re: Interesting night / Flat Iron

Was a great night last night in North Glendale. The sky was fairly steady out 
my way. Would be nice if we can get that this weekend. Saturday night I'm 
planning out going out to Flat Iron for a little "marathon" practice. Anyone 
else planning on going out?
