I interrupt the serenity of this group to say: It's time to restart the "where will we have dinner poll". I'll restart the poll tomorrow. In the meantime, feel...
... Thanks. ... I think "non-functioning observatories" are better known as "garden sheds". That's about all they're good for! Doug ... Doug George ...
Hello, I plan to be camping in Bon Echo PP near the end of August and would like to use the Nirvana site. Is the airstip safe? The permission letter from MNR...
I don't recally anyone reporting problems with the other people using the airstrip. I think somone once posted that people from a nearby bush-party came to see...
Thanks Keith! I just got my copy of S&T a few days ago, it turned out pretty nice in print. Maybe one of these years I'll get a pic in their readers gallery. ...
Good company at dinner last night. The RASC talks even not-bad. I manged to do some binocular observing last night at 2am after moonset. I noted m31 looked...
Yes, the company at dinner was wonderful. And I did enjoy the talks. When I got home the sky was clear so I dragged out the astro-gear and started imaging. Ten...
Anoyone up for sidewalk astronomy tonight at Chapters in kanata? We'll have the moon and jupter (during the early part of the evening). If people are really...

2006 Ottawa Centre RASC Picnic ______________________________ As announced at the August Ottawa Centre meeting, we will be holding the picnic once again at our...
Hi Doug, That and your M31 are really great shots. It seems that a DSLR is a way to get excellent results. I'm not sure how much better those images can be. ...
... Thanks! Actually, I think I can do better processing on them; I'm not certain that the color balance is optimal, for example. Also there seems to be a...
This came to me from the travel agency that organized the Turkish eclipse tour and may be of interest to the imagers among us. Frank ... From: "TravelQuest...
Very impressive image, Doug. Where is your M31 shot located? Also, I am always interested in how people take these images (e.g. 100 min of exposures, 20 X 5...
Here's another FSQ-106 / Canon 20Da image, this time of the PacMan nebula. It was 72 minutes of exposure, taken under full moon conditions. I had some ...
Again very impressive. I really like how the core in M31 is not over done, and how the arms of the galaxy shows alot of detail. I have a long ways to go...
Doug, Those are great pics, I notice you even caught some dust lanes in M101, that's not something I've noticed often in M31 pics. Well done! Rob ... image,...
There's been a dearth of group-Oafs observing lately. Not so this Saturday. There are two observing parties: - observing at Rolf and Linda's place as part of...
Hi Attilla, ... Absolutely!! I opted for the 0/7 split and it was the best decision I ever made. Now when I image until the sun comes up it doesn't matter. Bob...
Hi Atilla, You can take in both if you wish! The picnic starts at 3, and you can have a wonderful meal and commaradarie with other OAFs. Pinhey's point is...
Hi Attilla, Ross coming out of hibernation (gimme a Nirvana trip!) here. I concur that split is fundamentally wrong. Work has been keeping me up late but not...
Welcome back Ross. It's been rather a long time. Do you think the bugs have left nirvana yet? I was thinking of waiting untill September new moon. (Especcially...
I'm in Kingston all day (my son is moving down there), so I definitely won't make Rolf's; might make Pinhey's if we're back early enough. Have a great...
