[AZ-Observing] Re: Jennifer's confluence info please

Howdy Jenn, et al;

I will get it installed into the next release of the SAC Asterism =
database.
With the weather, it would appear I will have plenty of time to do so;-(
Thanks for the input, I look forward to observing it sometime.

I promise I know that M 24 is at 18 hours of RA;
