This star party is a Toronto Centre event and a chance to get an early start on the camping season under the pristine dark skies that Algonquin Park is famous for.   We have no agenda, guest speakers or activities planned except for observing on the beach.  We do hope to have a communal campfire each evening for everyone to enjoy.

DAVID LEVY A Night watchman's Journey:  My Adventures as a comet discoverer and sky watcher With more than twenty-two comets discovered, Canadian astronomer David Levy is one of the most successful comet hunters in history. Thanks in part to one of his finds, Shoemaker-Levy 9, we now know more about the role that comet collisions have played in the origin and evolution of life on this world. Mr. Levy will share highlights from his research and how his childhood fascination with the night sky led to a highly satisfying career.

Want to learn to image? Want to see galaxies and the milky way naked eye? Want to do it less than an hour from Toronto?
