[AZ-Observing] Re: Vekol Friday Night

Nice photos Bill.  Good talking to you last night, and the Mewlon setup is
a work of art.  Beautiful scope!

Despite seeing & transparency being mediocre, we still had a great time. 
Mike & I pushed on through until 4:00am, knocking out some summer
Herschel's throughout the night.  Wish I could go back again tonight, but
will not be able to.  Hope to see you out there again soon.
