Re: September B-SIG Observing Session -- Saturday Sept. 14th -- 6:30pm -- Metcalf Nature Center
Hi, Suresh;
This is Michael Kauper.
Using Clear Outside, I see that Friday will be clearing after about 9:00 PM, no chance of rain.
Saturday will be 100% cloudy until mid-night, some chance of rain.
Switch to Friday?

volunteer for Fall Astronoy Day
May I please have the 7:00PM speaker slot out at ELO for Fall Astronomy Day. I noticed that mnastro.org still lists the speaker TBD.
If the 7:00Pm slot is taken, perhaps the 4:00PM slot? The kids ask questions and I am not so good at cutting them off...
