PM if interested in a spot.
- Leaving Finch Stn at 8pm
- Likely leaving observation meet-up area by 10pm

i want to go just for the sake of seeing some meteors.

ok I will see you all @Richmond Hill DDO on 9:30 ... see ya

The weather forecast looks good, so I think we're all set! (Knock on wood...)

Jen, I hope we won't have any trouble finding each other at the site. Look for the small group of people with cameras, a little way away from the other group of people (the RASC members) with their telescopes.

Oh, and try to dim your headlights as soon as you get to the parking lot; we don't want to blind anyone who's already dark-adapted.

Bring a red flashlight (or equivalent); red is less blinding that white.

PM me if any of you want my cell #.

Cheers!

Coming from downtown core, to meet up at finch passenger pick up (is that off kenneth by the condos?)

room for 4 - silver sunfire

I forget exactly what side street it's near, but the Finch passenger-pick-up area is right next to Finch station, and there should be some signs pointing it out...

The location is called Kiss and Ride. On the North side of Hendon Ave, West of Yonge.

Thanks Jack!

For those driving directly to the site: Best access is from Bayview Drive; from Bayview, turn west onto Hillsview, then south (a left turn) onto the DDO grounds. Follow the driveway all the way to the end.

hmm never knew that DDO was open to the public, would have visited before if i knew sooner.

since this is right around my block i'll also join in at the site if i don't fall asleep.

What time is everyone meeting up?

8pm at finch passenger pick up?

Yup!! (But hopefully you've used the discussion board and/or the PM systems to arrange your rides... anyway, hopefully no one will be left ride-less.)

See you soon!

i am picking enian up at 8pm @ st george station so we might just meet you guys at the DDO.

Despite wanting to go, I've injured myself

I hope I can see it from my back yard.

it was cold but worth it, always wanted to see that building. thanks for a great event!

Well, other than the piddly number of meteors (I only saw 1), it was a fun time. Hope you all got some good photos!

See you in August 2010 for the Perseids.

i cheated, i watched it between 3:30am-4:30am again...

i saw maybe 10-13, 5 or 6 really bright ones.

too bad my battery crapped out :S

They said on the radio this morning that it'll peak tonight or tomorrow night.

Thanks for organizing Dan.
It was dark and I couldnt make out any faces.

I didnt get to talk to anyone also because I have no idea who's who...

We should get glow in the dark tags

Thank you Dan for organizing this one






Cheers

Anyone going to DDO for the Leonid meteor shower tonight?

oops sorry CG, i meant to quote ur post but then i pm'd u lol.... but yea, if the DDOs open tonight id like to go... but then i dont think we have any RASC members coming....

it's dark so they won't know who's who

btw, when i watched the meteors at 3/4am, the meteors crossed everywhere without specified direction, so the sky is the limit.

i also recommend driving to "Milne Park" at Hwy 7 and McCowan in Markham to watch this in the open green field. There's a much wider frame of view there compared to the DDO and less light pollution.

this would have been nice to see
