Hmm, according to weather, seems like weather isn't going to be good.. Darn. But, if on the slight chance the weather betters up, anyone interested in meetup? Senna any suggestions?

QE Park?

Good vantage point, as in no power lines.

Another potentially nice place will be that pier at the end of Kerr St by Marine Drive.

I am leaning towards going to the first lookout at Cypress. According to my software, the Moon should be very close to Mt. Baker so if it's a clear night tomorrow, there be good shootin'!

How about we meet in front of the Benkei on Robson St, cross from the Safeway near Denman around 7:00? Then we can go up to Cypress?

Probably 8:00 - 8:15-ish?

Of course, if it's raining, or cloudy then there's no point. :(

LiquidTurbo

If its overcast.. then yea, but its a little cloud, if you're patient, it may move away from the moon. I'll just keep my eyes pealed on this thread today.

Foggy might be good...usually means clear skies at higher elevations.

For those of you that have iPhones, download an app called "Skytracker" by Global News. It will overlay rain and cloud cover info on a map and also give you the weather forecast. I think it's updated hourly.

60D: you will get the 1.6x crop factor.

Senna, can't make 7pm. 8pm?

Senna4ever
05-05-2012, 05:00 PM
The moon rises at 8:30-ish, and optimum viewing would be after 9pm, so 8 is fine with me. Is it cloudy in Vancouver now? I'm in Mission and it's sunny here right now.

sunny_j
05-05-2012, 05:02 PM
the clouds are rolling in. there is thick clouds east of knight street and almost clear west of knight street.

Senna4ever
05-05-2012, 05:03 PM
So it must be clearing up then?

sunny_j
05-05-2012, 05:06 PM
i hope so, it looks like its getting more cloudy then clearing up...

LiquidTurbo
05-05-2012, 05:55 PM

Senna4ever

Just getting into Vancouver now...looks like the clouds are moving east! I see clear skies to the west!

Liquid, have we met before? I'll be in front of Benkei with a D4 in my hands.
