Solar eclipse 11
Hi all! Is anyone having any luck with the solar eclipse? Here in my backyard in Orleans, had lots of clear breaks around 11am and now it¡¯s thick clouds in the direction of the sun. But hoping for holes :) Hoping those at Chapters are having a good time! Cheers! Pierre

Two outreach opportunities in October 11
Greetings all, We have some opportunities for sidewalk astronomy coming this month that I would like to gauge everyone's interest in: 1. Saturday, October 14th Annular Solar Eclipse - From Ottawa we will see a partial solar eclipse, max coverage ~20% - Timing for 1st to 4th contact is 12:06pm to 2:23pm, with maximum occurring at 1:14pm - propose we have a sidewalk session dedicated just to solar observing around the eclipse times - can promote the 2024 total eclipse 2. Saturday, October 21st First Quarter Moon - Good timing for a traditional evening sidewalk event - Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, & Pluto all visible - Summer Milky Way visible in West after sunset (for us video astronomers), M31 & M45 visible later - Could do afternoon + evening to give some solar viewing as well and night viewing - I am prepared to bring a generator & table for handouts but not looking for "Astronomy Day" level effort I would propose, if we do host these two events, that we do them at our usual spot in the Chapters parking lot. If you are interested in supporting either of these events, please let me know ASAP so I can decide if we will go ahead and then get a notice out on our Facebook Group. Cheers! Jim Thompson

Public sidewalk astronomy sessions later this month 7
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! Pierre

Observing session at the Moose Creek site this evening, Sept 16 3
Hi, I plan to go to the Moose Creek observing site this evening for some observing and to take some astro-photography. I will be there around 7pm. Here are the instructions and the map to get to the site for anybody that would like to join me. /g/oaog/files/Maps/Moose%20Creek Remember after you turn onto road 6, the left turn is after 1.7km. Then the spot to set up is 1.6km from the road. I have already notified the owner and he gave us the ok. Clear Skies! Denis

Observing session tonight at Moosecreek site - GO! 5
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%20Creek Clear skies! Pierre
