Maybe we'll see 50 telescopes on Cadillac Mountain again this year. Due to reserved parking for the general public at Mount Desert Island High School (See page 4), the number of visitors on Cadillac may be limited to around 1,500. I doubt that we'll notice the difference.</font></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Palatino, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div><div><font face="Palatino,sans-serif" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Palatino, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">If you think you will be coming, please take 30 seconds to add your name and checkoff any of the four observing events. </font><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14px;">This star party isn't just for experienced observers,</span><font face="Palatino,sans-serif" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Palatino, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> we also need assistants. </font><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14px;">If you're interested in coming without a telescope, just to help out, that's </span><font face="Palatino">great and please sign up too!
