  I would like to request that you add this site to the KStars
database of geographical locations.  FPO is a small observatory with a
single large (.8m) telescope and many places to setup other scopes
that is used for both amateurs and general public access to astronomy.

  There are public star parties much of the year at this location,
sometimes with hundreds of folks coming by in an evening if something
interesting is in the sky.  This weekend the public program's slides
are being generated by KStars (right now...), and KStars is often used
up there by many of us.

  So it would be useful for at least some amateur astronomers to have
this observatory in your database.  Here is what data I have that
would make sense to have in your database:

  Thanks for KStars folks!
