Mike, can you give us a little more information about this event. What time
should we plan on arriving to setup scopes, sunset is 7:17pm, moonrise is
2:19am Saturday morning. About how far out is 180th Ave. - past the prison??
This will help any one interested in gauging when to leave in order to arrive
with a reasonable amount of time to setup, eat and gab.
While I am interested my office hours end at 5:00pm and I'm in downtown
Scottsdale - quite a ride.
Thanks,
aj
