I'd say the chances are pretty good, Geoff.

Looks like it will be a double celebration on 13th September!

Who would have "thunk" that the lunar eclipse would generate so much traffic...maybe we should schedule another astronomical event to stir up even more interest...Geoff can you take care of the arrangements?

As far as my vote goes, eclipse or comet either one is fine and it makes little difference to me as long as it is visible from my house!

That's pretty impressive. Nearly to 3000. I must admit some problems trying to access the site last night & when I did there was a lot of "guests"

Gee Whiz that was quick!

Congratulations to all who make IIS possible and the informative place it is to be...

To Ice, Mojo and the Moderators I'd tip my hat to you all if I had a hat! Well Done!
