I realize this isn't quite the place for this, but we need as much feedback as possible on this one. Would you, or your clubs, be willing to attend a special edition of the Winter Star Party held at, or near the WSP site in the Keys? Mid-August to mid-September range is the prefrred window for this spectacular, once-in-a-lifetime showing of Mars. You may leave feedback here or e-me at: [email protected]. Thanks for your time and input!

That is a great idea, Brian. Hmm, how hot and/or humid does it get in the Keys in late summer?
I'll bring it up at the ASH excutive meeting on Saturday and mention it to the other clubs to which I belong.

I have previously made web contact with a gentleman who suggested the keys, though I don't know exact site he had in mind. We left it that I would contact him when I firm my plans. I live in NC and can gain 10 deg. altitude by going to the Keys, which I plan to do for closest approach on Aug 27 and Opposition on Aug 28. Would like more info. on where you would hold the "WSP" as to driving directions, etc. If this turns into a large event I probably should go ahead and make motel reservations for about a week, and would appreciate suggestions on reasonable lodging (Holiday Inn, Hampton, etc) within reasonable driving distance of the site. You can e-mail me at [email protected], or post here.
