[sac-board] Re: FW: ASC Deep Impact event on July 3rd

It is unlikely anyone will find the comet from downtown Phoenix even 
if it brightens significantly. The best place to view it will be from 
a dark sky area.

I highly recommend Stan's Deep Impact Star Party. It's an ideal location.

I think the Science Center would be a waste.
