George, if you or Lunsford leave the observatory in the dark due to clouded
conditions, I hope you two have a bright light with you; that might help
confuse the animal long enough to get in the cars. After all, you don't
really need your starlight vision by then.
We don't want to hear or read of some kind of "accident" occurring to you
guys; take more-than-sufficient precautions, please. And don't let
yourselves get into a rut; the animals can learn your patterns and figure a
way to take advantage.
Clear skies,
