EH 2010 at OSC (Don Mills)

I, with other RASC volunteers, helped at the Earth Hour celebrations at the Ontario Science Centre. We were essentially clouded out with limited, sporadic views of the Moon. The Aristarchus crater (identified with Tom's chart) was pretty amazing. Small but incredibly bright. Could not see Saturn or Mars through the cloud deck. Sara estimated the OSC had 2000 visitors.

Did some ride-sharing. I offered to take John. He took the opportunity to provide me the Toronto Centre's loaner Dobsonian. He fly that 'scope at he OSC. We would leave it in my car at the end of the evening.
