Before we lure hoardes of scouts and students to come stampeding into the night... Jan and I put together a quick poll just to get a feel for the potential level of interest in doing public sessions

Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the OAFs group: Are you interested in participating in sidewalk/scout/school observing sessions and if so, on average, how many times per month?

out - Thanks Al. I think Almonte side walk sessions is a very good idea. All users of FLO have a interest in keeping the skies dark there. Some of the light pollution problem at FLO is from Almonte.

each That's an excellent idea. Here are my two favorites: "You mean to get to do this every night!" "F**K!" I'm not making this up. They're both from 1999 Carp Library session. Looking forward to

approximate It was about 9.5 hours for me. One thing you can do to break up the time is stop at Science North in Sudbury. It's an excellent science museum for kids. Every exhibit encourages kids to

Yeah, now I remember how long it too me to learn to "see" some of the details on Mars. A red filter helps alot. Some people were just able to notice Syrtis Major and the polar cap, last time round,

OK, there is a possibility of everyone (ummmm, in my family - I can't speak for the rest of you) going - but we wouldn't leave until Wednesday (and we'd still want to head back Sunday), which would

Nice report, Roland. Given that some of us are addicted to hearing those "wow"s, we should think about how we might do public astronomy this summer in the absence of bright planets. I'm not sure that

Great Al! Looks good for tonight! I'll be there around 7:00-7:30 with my 18" Starmaster, do you think it might be an idea to post this event to the Ottawa centre? I think Hilderic and Pat live nearby

The 11 AM Envir Canada forecast still says clear for tonight, and the satellite view shows a fairly large clear hole around the Ottawa area, that hopefully will not move too much before evening.

Chris and I will discuss this tonight. The Tuesday of the week before is her mother's birthday, so we'll be out on Vancouver island but we'll see if we can all go or if I would be going alone. Or

Janice and I are going to be looking into this over the next few days. We certainly had a wonderful time there last year... My first general impression is that, assuming we decide to go, we might look

You may have heard a few oafs ranting about how incredible the skies were last year at the Great Mantiou Star Party. Transparency was well into the triple-x rated adjectives on the expletive scale.
