Karl,

It's 2am here already so not a problem staying up a while longer!

Have posted a photo of the kit ready to throw in the car- it's on the 
f32 Discussion Forum at 
http://www.f32.net/cgi-local/discus/show.cgi?13/720

7" Aero Ektar and a Graflex View II monorail. The View II is one of 
the few cameras that has a completely flat front standard and will 
take the huge shutter attached to the Aero Ektar. I had a look 
outside about five minutes ago and the cloud has cleared slightly but 
not enough. The areas of the sky where the meteor trails will appear 
are clouded over.

Hope you peops in Arizona have fun - bet you can guess where I would 
like to be this morning.... not barking in the garage either ;-)

Karl - pack that camera in the car and go for it!

Cheers,
        Clive
