took in the meeting

Attended the RASC recreational astronomy night meeting.

Grace and Tony wanted to go. We headed up together. Traffic was bad on the Gardiner. But we made it on time.

Risa attended. I think she was surprised to see me. "You had it made." She was looking for a good spot to sit. I invited her to hang close. Bill joined us.


Chris V. did a great job on the The Sky This Month. I liked the historical angle. No hand out. But he said he'd put stuff online. Sharmin shot a bunch of photos and put them on Facebook.

Jim's folded refractor was interesting... The thing was big. And bulky. Yes, still easier to manage than a 9 foot tube. The 8" objective was huge!

Frank's talk about reading weather was...  very interesting. It was intense. High clouds. Low clouds. Dissipating. Sheer. Isobars. UNISYS upper level analyses. Lots to absorb.

Helped Risa find the pub and sort out parking.
