[Peyton-observing] May-Sep call for public observing volunteers

[Luke Bouma]

Dear all,

This is our Summer call for public observing volunteers.  If you are
interested in sharing the joys of the cosmos with an interested public (and
often interested Princeton undergrads), public observing is a good
opportunity to do that!

If you are interested and available, please fill out your availability at
this google sheet
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bJhSEkqFQ3juB5-SnbuhkF-xygXEVv4VjXriy7X0-S8/edit?usp=sharing>.
(The sheet should default to the "0519_thru_0919_observer_availability"
subsheet.)

Thank you for your interest, and looking forward to a great season :-)
-Luke

* To post status updates to the observatory website, you'll receive login
credentials near the time of observing.

observations.
