Sounds good to me. I have the dark sky itch real bad and need to
scratch it with some deep sky photons... if ya know what I mean.
I recently read someone's theory that our cities and commuter culture
actually create rain storms on weekends. Theory whet something like
this: cars/trucks/buses pump junk into sky during the week, by
Thursday/Friday build up is enough to help seed nay clouds passing by
and cause rain. The rain clears the air and skies are good early the
next week. Repeat cycle. Sounds plausible to me. Circumstantial
evidence seems to support the theory here in the bay area.
In any case I am up for midweek, weekends, anytime of clear and dark
skies.

P.S. My best session out this spring with my new scope was a Wednesday
night at Monte Bello.
