Steve is the driving force behind the JPL Astronomy Club.  He is not reachable
by the net as the 1100/81 at JPL which Steve uses does not run Unix.
Observations will probably be at either the Lab's Table Mountain site above
Wrightwood or at the Goldstone Tracking facility where the Club has use
of a building [US Citizens only on this site].  Steve is a serious, paid
astronomer [not just an amateur].  His old phone number was (818)-354-3131.
Steve was also involved in the now defunct US Halley rendezvous mission.
