2009 Observing Schedule
Our observing sessions are held during two seven day windows each month at Palgrave Conservation Area . Referencing the table below, the shaded areas represent these seven day windows. Observing takes place on the first clear night without high winds only within the shaded areas.
To confirm whether a decision has been made to go, please call our Observing Hotline two hours before sunset at (416) 787-4581 and press #6, check our www.telescopes.ca home page and look for “OBSERVING TODAY” in the “Cosmic Connections” window or email us at observing@telescopes.ca if you would like to receive a reminder email that a window is coming up and we’ll add you to the notification list.
We have posted a detailed map to our observing site — or you can download a PDF that includes both the map and schedule below.
