Re: Public sidewalk astronomy sessions later this month
Hey Pierre…
Oh, sorry to hear that. I thought I might have missed an email with the logistics. Given the last minute nature why don’t we skip tonight. Maybe we’ll have another opportunity before the white flakes of death return.?
Feel better soon!

Hi Gordon,
Sorry, I have been ill and am late seeing your message here. ?It’s too late to organize for tonight, but I can supply the large signs, cones and handouts if someone is able to come pick them up in Orleans this weekend, and then drop them back when done. ?I
think weather looks pretty good this weekend … if the clouds stay where they are suppose to be. ?Unfortunately I cannot participate but can assist with providing material and postings on FB.
Clear skies,
Pierre

Hello all!
After a busy summer (and quite hot, not to mention hazy), we are looking forward to resuming public sidewalk astronomy sessions later this month on the parking lot of Chapters near Ogilvie road. ?The weekend of September 22-23 near the First Quarter Moon would
be ideal or some of the nights before or after those dates. ?Saturn is also beginning to be visible earlier at night.
Stay tune as we get closer!
Clear skies!

Observing session tonight at Moosecreek site - GO!
Hello all, The weather is looking favorable for an observing session this Saturday night east of Ottawa (it will clear late this afternoon, and should be clear most of tonight). I plan to arrive at about 9pm to setup. ?All are welcome. ?The property owner has been notified and has given us the OK. For those who haven't been to the MooseCreek site, here are the maps / directions. ?NOTE: ?These maps are old and slightly outdated. ?At about 1.6km into the stretch of the farm field, you must then take a LEFT turn out into the path that goes into the corn field. ?About 0.3km later, you'll reach the end which is where we setup (a dead end turnaround). /g/oaog/files/Maps/Moose%20CreekClear skies!
