UPDATE: NOV 15, 2019 11:00AM  - FORECAST IS SHOWING PARTLY CLOUDY...BUT   LIKE DIEHARD ASTRONOMERS THE EVENING IS ON!!!!!
SEE YOU THERE
GARY C.



The forecast is looking good for Friday night, according to Environment Canada.




Fri, 15 Nov
A mix of sun and cloud with 40 percent chance of flurries. High plus 4.
Night
Clear. Low minus 12
So, ensure you dress warmly, and particularly bring warm footwear.  I'll try to get out a little early to turn the heaters on.


If you're NOT bringing a telescope, please park on the south side of the parking lot.  If you require power, bring your own extension cord.




Here's what we'll be looking at:
The Moon
The Pleiades (M42)
Orion Nebula (M42)
Uranus


And I think Pallas reached opposition a couple of days ago, so we might try for that!
