Chuck, That's what intervalometers are for. :) Since the weather was so nice, I basically was outside all night in a lawn chair, sipping hot coffee, and...

Yup! There'll be a big ol star party starting Thursday night so we can catch the peak of the Perseids on Friday morning. The house will be open. Best, Danny...
