The storm gods have granted us some nice skies tonight (4-21) along the Wasatch Front; I just got back in after an impromptu star err, I mean planet party at Churchill Jr High at Wasatch Blvd and about 3700 south. We had a good look at all 5 planets; Mercury came into view at about 8:45 or so and was visible to about 9:25. If it's clear on Monday (4-22), I'm going to be there again; I'll bring my telescope this time. A number of people were there and were interested in looking through more than binoculars. If anybody wants to join me, I'm setting up about 8:30-8:45. Joe Borgine
