Saturday coming, I intend to be at the Kanata Chapters to do some
sidewalk astronomy (being as I have to go to foul Toronto for one
week on Sunday!!) Mike Zeigler will be there as well.

Lo' there Richard!
Hm-m-m-m ... A Clear Moonless Saturday night around Messier galaxy
time. Just wondering if any other alternatives, for example, at a
slightly darker site, might not be feasible at all for yourself and
Mike Z.? Given a choice, I'd usually prefer to opt for sidewalk stuff
for those times when the moon's on either side of full. Personally, I
sure could use a dark sky session, just about now.
I guess your travel plans might be placing some boundaries on your
options. If I'm not mistaken, I think it still gets dark early enough
to get in a few hours of observing at a darker site, and still be home
by midnight. Just trying to tempt you...
It's just that there have been so few Clear & Moonless Saturdays thus
far...
Let me know what you think,
