The Prince George Astronomical Society will have its observatory open Saturday night ( the 17th) for a special open house so people can get a better look at the Leonid shower.

Check the forecast before heading out to the Observatory near West Lake, the Observatory will be open to the Public on the 17th at 8.p.m. (click here for a map to the observatory site)

Sadly, it looks like we will not be able to watch the Leonids in this neck of the woods this year. Snow will obscure them. Being a fan of meteor showers, I have enjoyed the Leonids many times, and I will be sad to not have them.
