    TT Ari and Swift

    Unless I'm losing brain cells even faster than I thought, these Swift 
    observations (in this message from Koji) will take place TONIGHT, just 
    as our intrepid USA westerners are losing the star.  But there will be 
    windows for AU/NZ, then for Europe/Africa on Saturday night (pardon me, 
    AU/NZ folks, I temporarily forgot where the IDL goes way down there, so 
    don't hold me to terms like "tonight" and "Saturday night").
