OK, I give up; Seeing as how it is raining with thunder and lightning while I am writing this email, I believe that I can safely cancel the Stargaze for this weekend without fear of a giant uproar. There really isn't a good time for a re-do this year. So, I hope that the Messier Marathon will be under clear skies and we can enjoy ourselves then. If it does start to clear out by Saturday, I might consider a short run to Flatiron for the evening.
