a new beginning (Richmond Hill)

Members of the RASC Toronto Centre were invited to the DDO this evening. As usual, people were set up on the front lawn. But this time, under Archie's guidance, we could put the 74" on whatever target we wanted. And we didn't have to leave at midnight.

I did not take my gear up on this occasion. I looked through lots of other 'scopes.

I viewed the Moon, Saturn (with Titan, Rhea, and Enceladus on one side and Dione on the other), Albireo, Mizar & Alcor, M13, and Zubenelgenubi. The views in Gilles LX200 were awesome.

I helped Caroline sort out her 'scope. Once again, the NexStar interface tripped up people. Kooky!
