If you'd like to get out and do some deep sky observing tonight, you
have lots of options. The list is likely narrowed down to two if you'd
like some company.
Option #1 is at Five Mile Meadow, near Happy Jack. This will be the
place to go if you want to be around a bunch of other amateur
astronomers in the cool north country. This is the official SAC spot
for this weekend.

Option #2: If you'd like to stay down along the desert floor, and don't
mind having far fewer observing mates, you can head out to the Hovatter
Road (aka Antenna) site. This place, if you don't already know is about
90 miles west of the I-17 / I-10 interchange in Phoenix.

I was originally planning on option #1, but changes in my schedule have
me exercising option #2. Maybe I'll see you there.
