Matt, have you had any trouble with the humidity and salt air on the Canon Mark 2? Are you using an airtight case or does that just make it worse? Jon, are you on board for the duration?

I think Matt has it fixed. We did catch the syzygy. It was quite a bit of fun, though not as dark as I expected. We have a bunch of goofy photos of us with these cheapo special glasses I bought that let you look directly at the sun. I'm glad it wasn't cloudy! Phil, thanks for the heads-up about the drink link.

Did you guys catch the Syzygy (solar eclipse) the other day? Please let Matt know the "Buy us a drink" thing was down when I tried (at least it was not functioning at 1PM on 7/18/10 SF time).

Holy mackerel! I've NEVER done more than a four hour watch (unless conditions are crazy), and we prefer three hours on/off...yikes. That is a loooong time for someone to be up!
