[sac-board] SAC 2004 Schedule - Total Eclipse Star Party?

How about adding a star party for Wednesday evening, October 27th for
Flatiron?  I've seen references that this will be the last total lunar
eclipse until 2007, so this would be a good time, even though it is
mid-week.

I remember a previous total eclipse from Buckeye Hills, although imprompt,
we had at least a half dozen scopes attending.  It inpired a Dim Moments
frame when Bob Dahl spent most of the time setting up his scope (for the
first time).

We can see how much deep-sky observing we can get done mid-eclipse.  :-)
The moon should drop to mag. 1.3.

              October 27
        Moonrise        17:35
        Sunset          17:44
        Partial Begins  18:14
        Total Begins    19:23
        Mid-Eclipse     20:04
        Total Ends      20:44
        Partial Ends    21:53

Of course, weather permitting...  :-)
