Sentinel attendees;

I did a few minutes checking with a planetarium program and the Sickle of
Leo and Saturn will not be up until midnight, so the meteors we will see
will be coming over the eastern horizon, hopefully a long way over the
horizon.  It certainly could be fun.  

Clear Skies to us all;
Steve Coe

That's 9:50 p.m. MST on the Saturday night of the Sentinel Stargaze.  Not
bad timing.
