This afternoon, it is partly cloudy in Maryland, and is expected to stay that way into the early evening, then there will be increasing clouds. But a decision to perform the NEAR NLR test might not be made until as late as 23:15 UT, but it could be as early as 22:00 UT (2 hours from now). Since the situation might be worse tomorrow night, the last chance to perform the test, it may be done tonight. I am almost finished preparing the finder charts for the event, and will send them for posting on the IOTA Web sites in about an hour. When I learn of a final go/no go decision on the test from NEAR Mission Operations, I will send another message. David Dunham, IOTA and NEAR Mission Design
