For anyone interested, I put together an observing list (attached) that should work for this weekend. I used the Herschel 400, Messiers, and a few other gems in the constellations that should be visible to us although the early and late ones may be a bit optimistic. Feel free to use and if I missed any no-brainers, please let me know.
P.S.
Reds are Messiers and Green are "other".

Bob, Jeff, and anyone else who owns an Astro-Tech,
I'm quickly developing a love affair with these scopes but haven't had the chance to check one out yet. Any chance you'll be bringing your's?

Too bad it's an .XLS file. Plain text would be just fine. Besides, it's all but impossible to see red and green using a RED light after dark.

I plan on changing them when I go back to add the "M" numbers to those objects; just wanted to get this out in case I do that last minute. Not sure what app to use for 'plain text'. I'll repost it in a different format if it would be helpful.

I should be there on Tuesday so look for the 8ft. long Brass Refractor as a beacon to find me.. 
I'm normally on the western side of the field, about half way back.
I'll have an older tan colored, with brown stripe, small motor home with the cab being a GMC VanDura.
I'll have two 18" Dobs too (one will be for sale)
Jeff
