Instructions:
1. Create one file per event. 
2. Fill in your name, location (city, town, etc.), latitude, and longitude. I 
   found a site that provides a lookup from address data at 
   http://geocode.com/eagle.html but is restricted to US addresses and is 
   designed for evaluation of their software. Other links welcomed.
3. At each observation, note date/UTC time, your observation, and comments about 
   weather conditions, especially if they impact your ability to observe. Other
   relevant comments may go here as well.

Notes: Enter the date in YYYY-MM-DD format (Gregorian calendar). 
Enter one line per data item. Each line should have the time followed by the 
observation. Use the symbols (, |, and ) to represent the shape of the 
terminator. For example, in the northern hemisphere, a waxing first quarter 
would proceed from ) to | to (.

4. Delete the instructions section (they will remain on qreadme.txt)

5. Name your file, and upload it using http://the-light.com/cal/cgi/upload.html. 
   The naming convention shall be:

   q###iii.txt, where q is simply an initial letter to group our files together, 
   ### is the quarter number (please pad with zeroes), III is the initials of a 
   participant. Please use all lower case. The quarter numbers are as follows 
   (note that dates are purposely only approximate).

               First Quarters  Last Quarters

               etc.

6. Report the URL of your file to the group when it is very clear that the quarter
   has passed.
