On a semi-related topic: when we were driving up to Pitt Lake the other night for viewing, we happened to catch the ISS passing over. It's super-bright for a short time due to the solar panels being so reflective.  View Screen Capture

Its the time of the year again!.
I heard this isn't a good year as the Super Moon is going present during the peak time of the Perseid Meteor shower. Anyone out for it this year?

There's no charge or requirement of being a member to use Dark Sky Park is there? Someone I was talking to last year said you have to be a member of the astronomy association in order to go there. Couldn't find anything on their website.

The rest of the park is open to the public - it's just a city park.

It's only 15 minutes from my bf's place, so I'm dragging him to go look this weekend lol.

profound sadness | you aren't really going to see anything in the middle of the city, particularly that close to downtown.
better chance going up cypress if you don't want to go that far.
