[AZ-Observing] Re: a great eclipse

Glenn;

Good for you, I am happy to hear that you had a great time and saw a =
good
eclipse.  I have no doubt that the club president can be persuaded to
provide time for all the eclipse chasers at the meeting in two weeks.

Looking forward to great images;
Steve Coe
