<< Don't know how much they can learn before the perseids, but I'm going to

 be enough interest sparked in a few members to learn the skills required. 
 (Right Kevin?). The NAMN COUNTING forms  and techniques will hopefully be 
 used, and since they are designed for beginners, should at least start the 
 process of collecting scientific data. Now, if I can just convince a few 
of 
 them to join my on those long, lonely nights up at the observatory......

Absolutely Wayne,  we watched the Lyrids and we had 7 members in 2 stations
for approximately 5 hours.  The data was handed to the team leader where it
seems to have disappeared into a void (I caught a -2 Lyrid on film - if
nothing else I hope to get that back)  but now that we have a strategy (the
NAMN guide) I think we'll do alright.

BTW are those a couple of little digs in the last two postings Wayne! :)   
I
had dome duty Sat. nite and I didn't even know you were there until I met 
you
in the parking lot!  
 I swear ! :)  See you at the meeting Sat.
