I have had a long and difficult week and I have much to do to get
organized in the RV. So I will not make it tonight, but I do look forward
to some reports from other observers. I also look forward to some
observing at the Antennas site for next week. I hope to see lots of SAC
folks at the Antennas next week for some dark and clear skies.
Take Care;
