Actually, the 10th of May is a Monday, so the CN Weekend could be over the weekend of the 8th and 9th. On the 8th at around midday, the moon is about 67 degrees in distance from the sun, so the prospect of doing lunars at zero longitude (if the clouds part) would be quite realistic - and quite unique in the experience of most lunarians, I suspect :-) It may even be arranged that we can hold our Weekend in the NMM itself......
