A Realm of Galaxies

Summer Nights

Warm weather is an obvious factor in luring people outdoors - be it the summer cottage, Provincial Parks or the favourite campsite. No words can describe the sense of awe and amazement as you lay under a moonless canopy of stars, far from city lights and the veil of light pollution. From dashing meteors and the passing of high orbit satellites to the rising of the majestic Milky Way and the pastels of the Northern Lights, the mystical sky intrigues everyone. The sky is definitely alive.

Not to polar align an equatorial telescope or estimate the limiting magnitude of the night. It is just as it sounds, look up. If you have ever found yourself in the countryside on a moonless clear night and away from any kind of distracting stray light – you know exactly what I mean.
