Hey Crew, The AASP was once again a great success, a little warm (o/k hot-103 was recorded on Saturday afternoon) Friday's night pot luck and observing was really good, from what I've heard. Really mild tempratures Saturday night, the clouds blew out about 8:00, and seeing was great. About midnight, we had some lightning in the far s/e, and that was reported to be in Nogales moving n/e, so it completely missed us. It left some with elecrtonics on their scopes a little leary, so they packed away later. The weather was really mild for Farnsworth ranch, because of the unusual heat spell. Most didn't even put on a sweatshirt until well after 1 am. Saturday nights dinner was really excellent, thanks to Claude and Randy, and we had enough for second helpings. EVAC gave away the 10inch dob to a young man who was the grand prize winner. The attendance was down somewhat from past years, I think because of the heat scare, and maybe the CSC. I didn't see Meade out there, unless they came later, and not as many from TAAA this year, other than Chartmarkers. We had a good representation from SAC there. We saw a couple of rattlesnakes out there, one on Friday night, one on Saturday night, and we were serenaded by the coyotes late Saturday. Overall it was a great time, a great time was had by all. For all those that came out, thanks for your effort, we couldn't do it without your help and support. Until next year, keep looking up, your chiropractor loves it. Mine too.
