Regarding comets, asteroids and such, one of Michael's suggestions in dealing with these would be to perhaps "Boost up a few truckloads of soot and spread them over the thing." Maybe he's on to something, maybe we should start by practicing on the moon. Just how much soot would it take to knock down the glare just a bit? ;) Quoting Dale Hooper <Dale.Hooper@sdl.usu.edu>:
Just make sure it's pretty well pulverized. Otherwise, you might end up with several mini-moons spaced around the moon's orbit and end up with something in the sky that is always around mag. -10 or so. <g>

I wonder if the IDA could help us. We at least need the moon turned
down
for certain events. It is far too bright. Of course I guess we would obuse the rule and keep the Moon turned down from first quarter until last quarter.

That's an ambitious alpha test there, Guy. You know the sad thing. Come January when we're buried under inversion, we'll be begging to see the doggone moon.
