I notice that dialogue on this subject seems to have stopped. The Intellicast weather projection for the Happy Jack area is Thunderstorms every day for the next 8 days. CSC (Discovery Channel Observatory Site) is not that good for Tuesday evening (night) either. Lots of lots of rain = lots of and lots of mud. Hmmmmmmmm. Does not look that good for a multi-nighter right now I am thinking. David M.

I'm figuring on Tuesday the 26th and Wednesday the 27th. Moon set times are around 10:20pm Tuesday and 11:00pm Wednesday. So, once the moon sets we have all night long for observing. The summer Milky Way is up nicely around 11:00pm, hence that is a possibility along with the spring time galaxies. I see from an earlier e-mail posting by Steve Coe that he is interested in a post Memorial Day trip. Also, at the last SAC meeting, Dick Harshaw indicated he was ready to go. So, what about it? Anyone else from SAC, or other astronomy clubs, interested?
