?Hello Andrea!

Raymond and I are on our way to the Cincinnati Dark Sky site (near Peebles, Ohio) to be in an optimal area for the Geminids for tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday nights! ?We¡¯re heading to the same site that we went for the 2012 Geminids.

The clouds do look like they will part Ottawa region on Wednesday night! ?I would urge everyone to give the excellent Geminids a try and report what you see. ?Thursday night could also offer good rates and possibly brighter meteors as the rates begin to decline. ?The peak time this year falls in the middle of the afternoon on the 14th. ?So I would definitely recommend observing on both the Wednesday and Thursday nights!

Re: APOD

 

You are correct about the controversy - some truly heated discussions on SEML

Re: APOD

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

One of APOD¡¯s more controversial choices. Many have complained it is art rather than Astrophotography.?
What do you all think?
I vote art?

What terrible luck!?? Covid *is* making the rounds again this year, despite vaccinations. Rest well and we'll see you next time.

Re: Two outreach opportunities in October

 

The forecast does not look good for this weekend (Oct. 21-22); lots of rain and clouds.? Unless there is a dramatic change in the forecast I'd say an evening event this Saturday is not going to happen.? Let's keep our eyes out for a clear night in the coming weeks.? Hopefully we get one last opportunity to do a sidewalk session before it gets too cold.

Cheers,

Jim T.
