There is adventure in the night sky,  With the use of the Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope(s) on clear, dark nights - along with a fantastic presentation astronomer/night sky photographer, Brian Mould, will introduce you to the world above.  This astronomy experience takes place at the edge of 100,000 acres of undeveloped land known as Haliburton Forest  and night skies that are void of light pollution; the largest obstacle to night-sky viewing. The furthest object our naked eye can see is 2.6 million light years away. On a clear night we can observe dark sky objects such as the Andromeda Galaxy. This superb location allows the opportunity to view individual stars, galaxies and deep sky objects not normally visible in populated areas.

Even on cloudy nights our programs will leave guests inspired: using a power point presentation we can explore the night skies, listening to stories of constellations and various myths, and travel through time learning about the ancient cultures that viewed the skies as a realm with magical powers.
