offered to open CAO for ToV

There was sudden buzz about the transit of Venus. A number of members wanted to know if there were plans for an observing gathering or star party in the Toronto area. Some wondered if the Ontario Science Centre might be a good spot. Richmond Hill residents considered locations with good western horizon sight lines.

I had already been noodling on it but I formally released my plans. I offered to open up the Carr Astronomical Observatory. Pointed out that sight lines on the north deck would be very good. With the solar equipment and MallinCam in the Geoff Brown Observatory, we would be able to record and possibly run a Night Skies Network broadcast.
