Hi Don,

The group hasn't been down -- there probably just hasn't been too much to
talk about lately. We've had the recent full moon, of course, and while I
don't know about the rest of the world, here in the southwestern U.S. (where
most of the major surveys are located) we've been getting heavy monsoon for
the past two to three weeks.

I actually managed a couple of comet observations through poor skies last
night, and the forecast seems to be calling for a drying trend for the next
week or so. Perhaps this part of the world, at least, will have something to
contribute . . .


Sincerely,

Alan
