I purchased 20 Astronomy 2007 Calendars at the discounted club rate. The Calendar retails for 12.95US. You can purchase one tonight for $8.00can, two for...
Hello My name is Mike. I haven't been into astronomy for very long but I have always had an interest. My sensei actually really sparked my interest. Right now...
Hi everyone! I'm so glad I found out the name of your group! First, let me tell you that I saw your group a couple of years ago at Chapter's on Ogilvie Rd. One...
Hi there, Sorry to have missed you tonight. I just got back from the gabfest a while ago. It is basically just a social at a Tim Hortons where we gab about...
Hi Bruce, In answer to your question about the visibility of the Smart-1 lunar satellite on the moon the answer is yes and no! Impact may be at 00:36 UT Sept...

Gabfest was a very interesting night. Greg and Rob kept my mind going with all sorts of conversations. Even though I did experience a few "brain farts" lol....
Hi ya Sean. Yeah ... we had fun too. I hope we didn't confuse you too much... as I said, keeping it simple is the key. Follow up on those "freeware" programs...

Hi all I was wondering if anyone who has one of the following Power sources can send me the Charging Adaptor Specs (located on the charger itself) for the...
Hello group. I will be travelling to the Okanagan Valley BC at the end of this month. There will be nice dark skies close to where I go and dry weather (a...
... How big is your scope? If it is portable, and they will allow it as carry on do that. I've heard a number of bad stories lately with musical instruments ...
Although our crowd at Timmy's was fewer than usual, one never gets to meet or talk with everyone at any single sesson anyway. I enjoyed seeing the astro images...
I compiled this several years ago. The rules may have changed. I just cut and pasted the regulations and used the worse case figures after checking the sites...
Pierre, Your scope is not 'airline-friendly' as it were. You won't be able to bring it on-board as carry-on luggage as the dimensions and weight exceed what...
Thanks Joe et al. This is where I'm at in my reflections: The main components would have to go as freight for sure. I was planning to put the C9.25 OTA in a...
Pierre, My understanding is that if you put fragile stickers all over it then they just won't accept it. When you think about it all telescopes were shipped...

Pierre, I agree with you, Greg, and Jean. There is a big risk in packing a scope for check-in at an airport. But, you could really add a dimension to your trip...
The voices of reason ... OK, no i am not willing to risk it. But man ! I will have a full week of totally free time to myself , at new moon, close to Mount...
Folks ... Bruce Harding and I just picked up the AR 6 scope donated to the OAOG by John Hesse. John and his wife are pleased to see this refractor go to a...
