OK, folks this message is just a reminder that next weekend is the Sentinel
getogether and I hope to see some of the usual crowd there and maybe some
newbies. It has the makings of a fun time.

As an add-on to the fun, go to the SAC web site, 
www.saguaroastro.org

There you will find the comets for the "Comet Challenge", there is
information on some comets, some easy, some difficult. If you find and
observe, or image, half of the 8 comets on the list, you will receive a
certificate that you met the challenge and succeeded in finding the little
fuzzy stuff among the stars.  I have a few of the handouts from the SAC
meeting and I do believe that Peter Argenziano is going to show up with a
few more.  A big "thank you" to Gene Lucas for professionally printing the
handout from the info and maps I provided. 

The star gaze is in honor of Pierre Schwaar; who always loved an excellent
comet and I created the challenge in memory of him.

Clear Skies to us all;
Steve Coe
