Bruce,
If you would like to follow me, we could meet somewhere in Kanata.
Just a thought,
Matt

I think we have a plan! 8-)
Mike: Thanks very much for the invitation - I'll take you up on
it. Let's
hope the weather cooperates. Now, as for directions to your place,
are the
two maps on the other Yahoo egroup, still the best references?
When would
you like us to arrive?
See you all tonight ...

Roland, Mike and Bruce,
I would be happy to head out to Mike's place tonight (thanks very
much Mike!!). It is rare that I can get the right conditions
(mainly
weekend nights where I don't have to work in the morning!) to allow
for the trip. I just LOVE the view through your two excellent time
machines!
Bruce, when I have been out to Mikes place in the past, there were
usually at least a couple of smaller scopes of other friends set up
inside the observatory. You, owning a new scope and all, would
probably want to use your own for the most part. Am I right? If
Mike
still allows it, you could set your scope up in the Observatory,
that
way you could use your own scope and get a look through the big
guys. I usually bring my scope but don't set it up (the word
usually
means "the two times I have been there before", in this
sentance :))
So if you want to borrow anything,(star charts, eyepieces, etc..)
you
can. I would also like to run a little experiment using an 8in SCT
to finally decide on the purchase of a nebula filter . Hopefully
someone may have a nebula filter handy for this, nudge, nudge,
wink,
wink. ;-).
I'll keep wtching,
Matt

Assuming conditions improve, and the winds die down this evening,
what
would you prefer Bruce and Matt -- FLO or Mike's place?
Mike Wirths' observatory has very dark skies and superb scopes.
It's
a bit farther out but, hey, so's the view you can see in those
scopes.
Plus Mike's such excellent company (sorry Mike, no blushing,
it's
just true). Also, if the winds are medium (20km/h say), it might
be
tough at FLO, but fine in Mike's observatory. I'd be happy to
take
up
Mike on his kind invitation, especially if you guys don't mind
going
there too. We could still do FLO soon.
If, on the other hand, neither of you can go that far (approx
1.25
hours?) tonite, then perhaps I might stick with FLO to keep you
company and introduce the site.
Let me know either way soon, OK? ;-)
