Pierre, I was organizing my garage space this morning and like you I saw this strange contraption and this is when I thought astonomy and Chapter's. As for Joe...
Well, I'm quite new to the hobby. One of the things that got me interested was a Sidewalk session at Chapters! Whenever there is one, I'd love to come on out....

I also caught the ISS for a few minutes with my 8x50 binos. As it approached max. height it was rather bright (I'd say slightly less than Venus) Last year I...
Thanks Pierre for the heads-up, my wife and I watched it go almost directly overhead (Carleton Place) and it looked spectacular viewed with the naked eye....
