Re: TAC picture of the day 7-23-08

Nice picture of the day Jeff. And from Coyote just a short time back!
I looked up my notes on 4725 from 3/17/07 and they were embarrassing
compared to the 2 descriptions below so I'll pass on adding my notes.

Got me wanting to try to catch it another time for a better look before
it is gone for the year.

Thanks,
Mark
