Terri, I did another review of 10 weather forecasts and it looks like we will be fighting clouds all night. Since it is such a long drive and we will have a lot of telescopes just being able to show one or two objects, I am in favor of cancelling. However, if the majority wants to have the star party I will show up. If it is clouded out, I may not unload until it starts to clear up.

Nebulas, galaxies, globular clusters, and the comet may be very difficult to see. While it could be like last night, where it cleared up a lot after dark, tonight's forecasts are much worse than last nights forecasts. I would leave this up to Terri and Bob Ewing as to whether they want to take the chance of doing the star party tonight. I think it is very iffy.

I have it all ready to be packed into the car. We have quite a few RSVP's, and i know i haven't updated the site, but plan to do that in the morning. Terri -- Good friends are like stars.
