Re: [APML] California Comet Adventure - First NEAT image

Hi Chriss -

Thank you.
Yeah, DC is a great area.  Probably a bit too hot time the June new moon
rolls around.

Jim and Vince told me about the border patrol lights going up at TDS and I
read the article from the SD Beat magazine.  Are you a SDAA member?  This is
such a sad story.  I've had many dark nights out there.  The site does have
its moisture problems but if you get it on a dry night, the southern Milky
Way can be awesome.

Best,
