I'd consider going to FLO if I knew a keyholder was going.

Are the other west-end alternatives?

Well, there's the Carp Airport, but IMHO you'd do better hauling your gear
to FLO, even if you can't get into the clubhouse. It's not that much
further, you don't have the rotating airport beacon to contend with, and the
extent of the light pollution from Ottawa is less.

BTW, I shouldn't be blinding you guys with my red Maglite anymore - I picked
up a red-LED light like Janice's. Wouldn't you know it, though, my
dewshield will be shipped tomorrow from Toronto, and I'm heading to Toronto
on Friday. We'll probably pass somewhere on the 401. So tonight, I'll have
my custom-made TP-carton dewshield again. 8-(

Sorry, I for one would really love to go but am not free this evening.

But if I understand things correctly, anyone who is an RASC member can
request the combination from Al Seaman and use the site, but without
using the "clubhouse" or "observatory". I believe I have used it in
this way in the past (two years ago). Anyway, perhaps Al could
correct me if I am wrong. Good observing, if you guys go out!

I am not quite sure yet about being able to go to FLO tonight myself.

In any case, as Rolland says, the FLO grounds are available to any
RASC member to set up their own equipment at any time. Any member wanting
the gate combination can get in touch with me.

Cheers - Al

Further to my last note, things seem to be freeing up for me,
and the weather is looking too good to ignore, so I plan to head
to FLO.

Probably arrive a bit after 8 pm.

Cheers - Al

I'm about to head out to FLO too. I should be there about 20:30. See you
there!

Hi Robert,

I don't have any image map version of the FLO site, but if you read
message#411 by Al Seaman with the updated instructions in text format,
and you also use some kind of Ontario map, you should be able to get
fairly close to the correct location.

If you don't have a paper Ontario map, you can find a good facsimile at the
Government of Ontario website:



Another suggestion, which I recommend over the above map, would be to play
around with MapBlast:
