meeting night (Toronto)

Looked at the winter football on the way in. Jupiter straight up. Sirius flickering.

Bought a chocolate bar.

Chatted with Lourdes and Mike. Promised to add Mike to the Yahoo!Group. 

Returned the bad DVD to chas.

Returned the lecture DVD signed out by Kiron.

Got an idea during Markov's presentation. When he showed Jerry's Sky and Tel article (May 2012) on using a DSLR as a planetarium camera...And capturing the video directly from the Live View! Sneaky.

We started calling Phil "Mr X." Apropos.

Sharmin presenting on the DDO

It was so funny when people started taking pictures of Sharmin when she took the stage. "Oh, so this it what it feels like."

Heard Charles using the spacebar during his presentation. He was happy to recall the F5 key.

Chatted with Ed and Steve about focusing masks. Ed says his Bahtinov from Kendrick with his camera lens and works great on bright stars.

Received my big toboggan from Phil. It barely fit in Trevor's Mazda 3.

Showed the locker drawing plans to Dietmar, Steve, Tony, and Charles.

Asked Ralph about detailed databases.

Dave made good.
