(meteorobs) observations attempts



Hi all!

I have been desperately trying to get in a few hours of observing the 
last three days. The weather here in Ottawa has been quite weird. 
Just yesterday, I set up to go out and observe in the evening. 
The sky was promising at first. I had the car all loaded to go 
out south of the airport. I glanced one last time before leaving and 
ERRR! 
it was all cloudy again. The radar satellite showed Ottawa right in 
between
a high and low pressure system. This explains all the inacurate and 
highly 
variable forecasts I have heard and seen the last days.  

Today looks much more promising. It might be clear for a couple days.
If it holds, I'm off tonight to my "south of the airport" location. 
I think I'll do some scope at first while the moon is still high. 
Hopefully, some meteor watching early morning in the narrow moonless 
window.

I'll post my results of how I did.
