Hi Gary,<br><br>I have a Pronto and solar filter. <br><br>Trouble is I live in Milton and work at York University, and getting to Stoney Creek in reasonable time will be difficult. Any thoughts of having a northern group, as well?<br><br>Scott B. <br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: gary@bendun.net<br>To: announce@hamiltonrasc.ca<br>Date: Fri, 11 May 2012 18:34:02 -0400<br>Subject: [RASC Hamilton Special Announcement] Transit of Venus - June 5<br><br><style><!--

This is going to be one of our biggest Public Outreach events of all time. We have a big day planned and hope to be host to hundreds, perhaps thousands of visitors.</p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p><p class="ecxMsoNormal">Venus will make first contact with the Sun at 6:04 PM local time and will last 6 hours. Unfortunately the Sun will set before Venus completes it travel across the Sun (8:56 PM). But well still have plenty of time to enjoy the show.</p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p><p class="ecxMsoNormal">We will be setting up solar telescopes at Saltfleet Secondary School in Stoney Creek. We plan to be set-up and ready for action by 4:00 PM. We will also be giving out hundreds of solar shades glasses.</p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p><p class="ecxMsoNormal">So far we have 4 solar telescopes but we could use a lot more. If you own a solar telescope or a solar filter we could use your help. We would also be grateful for volunteers to answer questions from our guests. If you are able to lend a hand, please contact us ASAP.</p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p><p class="ecxMsoNormal">For more details about this event, including directions to Saltfleet School, visit: <a href="http://www.hamiltonrasc.ca/venus" target="_blank">www.hamiltonrasc.ca/venus</a></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"> Gary Bennett</p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p><p class="ecxMsoNormal">NOTE: This email is coming to you from our announce list and is a 1-way email.
