Patrick, Good catch, your right. I hope everyone has a good time. I'd love to be there but my pneumonia and the meds just wife me out after a couple hours of being up. I'm going to stay home tonight unfortunately. On Sat, Sep 17, 2011 at 4:50 PM, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com>wrote:

Nice one Jay,

But didn't the author get his meteor showers mixed up on page 5? And I don't think I'd call the Leonids a major shower. Perseids, Geminids and Quadrantids would be my top three.

Patrick

p.s. SPOC tonight looking fine on it's Clear Sky Clock. Y'all come!

Yes, and now I see they do wipe me out, not wife me out. On Sat, Sep 17, 2011 at 5:59 PM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:
