Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan. [email protected] Joining us today is Alister Ling,  Bio: Alister Ling has been watching the skies since missing Comet West in 1976. He has been a regular contributor to Astronomy Magazine and Deep Sky magazine, which is a much sought after out of print publication for visual deep sky observers. His longtime passion has been moonrise / set times…hey I need some for the Calendar Preamble. Before retirement, Alister was an operational weather forecaster for Environment Canada, with a focus on aviation meteorology.    Turbulence is a phenomenon that operates across a huge range of scale.
