Default RASC Toronto. Why hold observing nights a week before eclipse??

Funny, they hold an observing session at a city park, just days before a total lunar eclipse! Why not hold it DURING the eclipse? They might even have seen a couple deep-sky objects when the thing was full. Talk about not taking advantage of a good situation! What better way to capture the public's imagination (which these things are for)?

Unfortunately we are a NO GO for tonight's (Jan.15th) City Star Party at Bayview Village Park. We will try again on Thursday, Jan. 17th. @rasc #RASC #citystarparty #bayviewvillagepark
