Hello all! Just wanted to let you know that the Painter telescope drive
has been successfully repaired and the public nights will be held
(weather permitting of course) as scheduled this weekend. There will
be no viewing on the 25th and 26th due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
An update on the RLM roof construction... The contractor was supposed
to deliver the remainder of the roof materials to finish the project
over the weekend, but it apparently didn't happen, so we're still waiting.
I do hope we can open at least a couple of nights this semester, but if
not, things should be back to normal when we come back in January.
Regards,
