Re: If it clears very soon - FLO tonite?
I got your message. I found your directions from a few weeks ago. I won't be able to leave until about 20:00. Is that too late for you? I would be in Almonte at about 08:30. Could I meet you at

Re: If it clears very soon - FLO tonite?
Hi Bruce! Naw it's only 7:29pm, plenty of time. You need directions to FLO, Bruce? Also Attilla or anyone West End- if you're there at all - cloud cover update update, SVP? My van's packed.

Re: Future sidewalk session in Perth
That sounds just great! If you do manage to get some free publicity for that kind of event, perhaps we should offer some kind of rain date to be publicized for that event as well. Good going! I

Re: If it clears very soon - FLO tonite?
This is for bells corners, not quite as far west as kanata. There are big sections of blue sky. All of the clouds are broken cumulus. There is no cirrus. There is a low haze as well. But the clouds

If it clears very soon - FLO tonite?
It is now 100% cloud cover here in Orleans at 6:38pm. I need someone who can tell me if it looks clear or like clearing out in the West End. How's Kanata? ONLY IF IT DOES GET CLEAR ;-) I would

Re: anyone observing tonight
Count me in! If I read this http://www.cmc.ec.gc.ca/cmc/images/cld_reg_ps_ecan2_012.jpg right, we're in for clear skies starting about 20:00. Is that right? Where and when? Bruce

Re: anyone observing tonight
My gosh, you're right - it looks down right blueish out there. The sky that is. Let me get home and I'll check the usual suspects to see what is forecast (which you've probably already done) and

Re: Just some food for thought
For sidewalk stuff, zero interest is exactly as perfect as 3+/month. The purpose, I believe, is for each to do whatever astronomy's ok for you, and perhaps to share whatever that is with friends

NIce poll. ONe thought....I think that sidewalk astronomy is seasonal. Short of going "out with the Scouts", the late nightfall makes summer sidewalking difficult. The winter, on the other hand,

Re: Just some food for thought
Good morning Mike! I don't believe that it is our intention to be a dedicated sidewalk astronomy group. I know that this wouldn't do it for me. I like sidewald astro., but nothing compares with a

Just some food for thought
Public Astronomy sessions are a great way to introduce new people to our hobby - to this I agree with all my heart. Personally my hobby is astronomy (astro photography) not sidewalk astronomy.

Just wanted to know ... WAS: more sidewalk this summer?
