I am pleased to announce that TAC's excellent mojo with MROSD has, once
again, paid off. We have permission for a late stay at the Montebello
parking lot Wednesday night, August 11 until the morning of August 12,
6am for our exclusive "behind the gate" enjoyment of the Annual Perseid
Meteor shower. Peak to be around 2am, as usual.

I am in need of some "Gate Marshals" to man the gate, should the press
and TV stations pick up on the excitement.
Contact me off list at jturley at skyimagelab dot com if you can help us
for about 1 hour, directing privileged traffic into our lot :-)

The Los Trancos lot will also be open for overflow and random drive ins.

See http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2004/25jun_perseids2004.htm for
some background on these showers.
