Giving talk this Friday at RASC meeting
Good afternoon all,
If you are interested in hearing about what I've been up to astronomy-wise over the Summer, you can tune in to a talk I am giving tomorrow night at the monthly Ottawa RASC meeting.? It is free to attend, you just have to pre-register for the ZOOM webinar in advance.? The link to register is below.
Cheers,
Jim T.

Hello all,
Due to a rise in colds, flu and a Covid wave this season, we will postpone the Public Sidewalk Sessions at Chapters that we had planned to do this week.
Let's hope we can get back to those fun sessions in the near future! ?I for one miss them a lot!!!
Clear skies,

Re: Sidewalk session at Chapters planned this Friday!
I had forgotten that tonight is the RASC meeting. ?We will postpone the session and try again another night when more volunteers are available.

The weather forecast is looking good:
The Moon won¡¯t be visible, but Jupiter and Saturn will be :) Stay tune for updates!

Sounds good. Everyone keep your fingers crossed!

Hello all,
The weather appears unfavourable for tonight, so the call is NO GO for the sidewalk session. ?We will try again for Saturday or Sunday nights!
Clear skies,

Hoping that everyone attending tonight stays safe and has fun!
Meantime, I'm keeping my physical distance due to family caregiver duties.

I may be able to show up this evening, but the aviation forecasts are not looking promising, though the high clouds may thin out around 8pm. But I may arrive a bit late as there¡¯s a Falcon 9 launch this evening
just after 7pm and I may be doing an online watch party for it on Twitch (). I could make Saturday evening. I¡¯m having Thanksgiving dinner with my parents on Sunday.

Hello all,
A quick update that my availability for doing sidewalk astronomy setups at Chapters would be this Thursday, Saturday and possibly Sunday.
Scope volunteers, please let me know when you would be interested in joining. ?Just so that I get an idea how much room we¡¯ll need on the parking lot.
Thanks!

Re: Public sidewalk session Thursday Oct 6 at Ogilvie rd Chapters (weather permitting)
If it's a go Thurs evening, I can bring a scope too.? Best -- Michael

Hi guys!
The weather doesn¡¯t look very promising for tomorrow night but I¡¯ll post a go or no go tomorrow between noon and 1pm.
My next opportunity to organize a sidewalk session would be Saturday night. ?Fingers crossed for clear skies!
And yes I agree it¡¯s been a long time and my scope is likely quite dusty.

It's been a long while, but I'll attend and bring a scope. 8" CGT.
It'll be nice to see folk.

Re: Public sidewalk session Thursday Oct 6 at Ogilvie rd Chapters (weather permitting)
Hopefully it will improve. ?Chapters closes at 8pm earlier in the week, so it means possibly not many visitors. ?But it stays open until 10pm Thursday and Friday. ?I would be up for it Saturday too.
