RASC Hamilton Partial solar eclipse tomorrow

[David Galbraith]

A couple of ideas:

Recommended spot - the marina parking lot at the Point Clark Lighthouse, about 9 km south of Kincardine. Great public view of lake horizon, although close to lake level. For an elevated view there is a west-facing parking lot behind the Bean Bistro on Kincardine, on the west side of the main street across from the library. I can't guarantee how uncluttered that view will be in the direction of the sun, though.

Best wishes,

David
