Sidewalk observing Saturday

Richard Harding

Oh brave Knights of Antioch or OAFs....if the weather be fair on yon 
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.  
Knight on, fair Knight...be ye yet a witch..."

RichardLo' 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,

Rol

I concur. With Jupiter and Saturn low in the west, and no
moon. We'll have objects bright enought to show under streetlights
for only the very begiining of the evening.
