I guess the gist of the message is: observe after midnight for better rates
IF you can, but observe any time when it's DARK enough (LM>5.0), for
scientific purposes... Everybody clear on that one now? ;>

BTW, Malcolm, you mentioned that the bulk of IMO reports are actually from
the evening hours?? That surprised me! Or did you mean BAA reports maybe?

Come on, Kevin! If you haven't seen any disagreements on "the rules" for
planetary, deep-sky, and even variable-star observing, then you should get
Wayne to point you to his reference library for more reading. ;>

Clear skies to all! (Except those attending Bar Mitzvahs in Buffalo - for
whom the sight of clear skies and a new moon would be just too cruel...)
