(meteorobs) Fwd: [OAOG] ursids Dec 21/22
Here's a report that I'm forwarding from the Ottawa Valley Astronomy
& Observers Group email list. Possibly one of the very few
observations that the weather allowed in most of Ontario.

>I have a brief report I wish to submit and also dispense with a brief
>introduction as I cannot make it to your meetings. First with the intro,
>I live on a farm with my family in extreme southern Ontario about 15 km
>NW of Point Pelee Nat. Park. The nearest town Essex, is 7 km's to the
>NE. Windsor and Detroit are a further 35 km to the NE. That helps you
>visualize some of the obstacles I deal with in observing here. Another
>peeve on par with the light pollution is my neighbors farm yard lights.
>Happily I can relocate, using the out building to help block some of
>these lights. On most nights, at the zenith 6th mag or better stars can
>be noted. Using AAVSO charts on exceptional nights I have seen 6.2
>stars.

>Now the report.
