Thanks very much, Al, for both the weather head's up, and the proper way to use the gate at FLO. Knowing that saves alot of trouble for people going in and out, when the gate can stay open like

Re. the errant lenscap: I found it. It was in my equipment case all along. I had confused it for a cap that goes on the mount when the polar alignment scope is removed. That cap was in the opposite

Janice, Yeah, I think your right!! It's too bad, my wife and I went out to FLO this afternoon for a look. We walked in to the observatory and had a look around. If I had known to look, I may

That's probably a good call, Matt. From the way things sounded, I have a feeling that the only astronomical object likely to be spotted tonight - assuming a modicum of luck - is Bruce McGlashan

Hello all, Thanks Janice, for passing on the information. I just got home and the skies look pretty bad, so I'll be staying in for the night. Hope all that went out at least get a look at

Matt - I just spoke with Roland -- he is at FLO with Richard and Bruce. The skies remain quite hazy, and do not appear to be improving. They plan to stay for a while anyway -- at least until 9:30

I got a call from Roland - who is en route to Almonte - at approximately 7:20. He asked me to post that the sky was looking extremely hazy, with the sunset almost totally obscured. Roland will

Just read Al's post from Almonte after loading up the car. Things look pretty bad here from downtown looking west too (thickening cloud). So, I think I will reconsider, with much regret. Hope those

Bruce, Richard, Frank, & Matt ... I will aim to be at the Petro Canada Station for 8:00pm. I will then proceed soon thereafter for FLO to arrive there between 8:15 and 8:30pm. The directions

Happy Easter all, I should be free tonight and would plan to join you at FLO if the skies look promising. I don't have the combination, so will plan to arrive after 8:15. Is that still your plan

Hi Bruce! Yes, if it's a GO for at least some of us as posted at 6:30pm later today, we'll see you there! Good luck with that finder cap! EZ to lose, by the way, as I've lost 2 in only 4

Count me in too! I have to go to FLO to search for an errant lenscap, so I'll be arriving at 19:30-19:45. I have the combination. See you all there! Bruce McGlashan

Sounds like a good idea Matt! Makes it much easier to share and read later without having to sift through all the messages. I'll eventually try to do the same with the Beginner's Corner Series.

Great, Richard and Matt! I see lurking clouds in the West on the weather maps, so would like to post a final "GO - NOGO" call at about 6:30pm on this group. But it certainly looks quite

Roland, I may be able to join you at FLO tonight. I have a family dinner to attend. I am generally home by 8:30, so that means I could leave by about 9pm. I would only stay for a couple of hours

Hi Rol! After what we have been through the last few nights, I am in need of some soothing photons!! Judith says go for it so....... if you are on, I would meet you at the petro can at about

Hello all, I have compiled all of the posts around our recent excellent night at Mikes place. My goal is to be able to easily read them on some cloudy night in the future. I thought you all may

Joe and Marlene, are our old neighbours (well, still our neighbours for the rest of the month). What are the odds? Joe had wondered what that building with the framework on one end was for and

Am I mistaken, or does it actually say a simple "clear" in the weather forecast for tonight? Just wondering if the Easter Bunny just gave observers a gift or what... Here's a cut and paste from
