farewell meeting

Attended the last RASC Toronto Centre meeting at the Ontario Science Centre.

Ron did his first The Sky This Month. He spent a lot of time on past events. No handout. I did like his top-down solar system maps for conjunctions and oppositions. I made a couple of notes and checked things in SkySafari as he went along.

Sounds like 16 hours is the world record for youngest Moon sighting naked eye.

Really enjoy Sue's talk on Caroline Herschel. I'll have to point out crater C Herschel to Grace...

Good turn out.

Chatted with Jason M before the meeting. He tried to update his firmware but something went terribly wrong and he was getting a bootloader error. I gave him a bunch of things to try.
