Saturn's Rings: A Dark Sky Tour
Thursday, May 16th, 9 - 10:30 pm
L&A County Dark Sky Viewing Area
7980 County Road 41, Erinsville
Renowned astronomer Terence Dickinson and a large telescope will be at the L&A County Dark Sky Viewing Area for a laser-guided sky tour and high-power viewing of Saturn’s rings. This event is weather dependent - please check back for updates. [more...]
----
Southern Ontario, the most populous part of Canada, is rapidly losing its dark skies. The glare of city lights makes it increasingly difficult to witness the unimpeded beauty of the night sky.
Luckily for stargazers, astrophotographers and astronomers, there is Lennox & Addington County.
Located just a few kilometres north of Erinsville near the Sheffield Conservation Area, the L&A County Dark Sky Viewing Area is the most southerly point in Ontario where the night sky is so pristine, offering a night sky experience very similar to what was available more than 100 years ago.
The site includes a large concrete pad for camera or telescope setup, or placement of lawn chairs for general stargazing. While the L&A Dark Sky Viewing Area is ideal for both professional and amateur astronomers and astrophotographers, it is designed for anyone wishing to observe the natural wonder of the stars.
The viewing area is open from dusk until dawn, and you need not make reservations - just come and enjoy. Enthusiasts from near and far are encouraged to bring along binoculars or a telescope and witness - perhaps for the first time - how the night sky is meant to be seen.
*** Note: A portable washroom is now available on site at the
L&A County Dark Sky Viewing Area ***

NIGHT SKY HIGHLIGHTS
Compiled by Terence Dickinson, Editor, SkyNews Magazine
STARGAZERS CALENDAR
AURORAS (the Northern Lights):
Shimmering curtains of green, purple and red light occasionally decorate the northern sky over Canada. They are caused by powerful storms on the Sun that can affect Earth’s magnetic field and interact with Earth’s atmosphere at extreme high altitude. These solar storms are reaching a peak over the next three years, which should mean above average aurora intensities. But accurate predictions of when to look are--so far--elusive. Regardless, your chances of seeing a display are greatly enhanced at a dark sky site. Statistically, auroras are most often observed in March and September, but they can appear any night of the year. Canada is the best country on Earth to watch for them.
Visit SkyNews for more celestial highlights.
SKY TOURS IN 2013
The L&A County Dark Sky Viewing Area is open to the public every night of the year. Occasionally (weather permitting) scheduled stargazing evenings with guided constellation tours and public telescope viewing will occur during 2013.
SATURN IN FOCUS AT L&A COUNTY DARK SKY VIEWING AREA
Astronomer Terence Dickinson will have a large telescope at the L&A County Dark Sky Viewing Area for a laser-guided sky tour and high-power viewing of Saturn’s rings on Saturday, May 11th and Thursday, May 16th (weather permitting).
Ever since Dutch astronomer Cristiaan Huygens discovered the rings of Saturn in 1655, astronomers have been fascinated by this distant alien world. Terence Dickinson calls Saturn, “the most surprising and impressive celestial object visible in a telescope...it looks more impressive than any photograph.”
Dickinson has been using telescopes to observe Saturn and other night sky wonders for more than 55 years and has written several books on the subject. He says that May 2013 is one of the best times in years to examine Saturn and its rings which are mostly made of ice. He explains that “the position of Saturn in the night sky is best this year in May when weather conditions are often comfortable and the air is fresh and clear.
The viewing sessions are from 9 to 10:30 pm, but they are very weather dependant. The sessions are possible ONLY IF THE SKY IS MOSTLY FREE OF CLOUDS. Please check back here for updates.
TIPS FOR STARGAZERS VISITING THE SITE
1. For ideal conditions during your visit at the L&A County Dark Sky Viewing Area, choose an evening following a day with deep blue skies which indicates low humidity and clear air.
2. As pretty as the Moon is, for dark sky viewing with lots of stars and views of the Milky Way, choose a moonless night.
3. Bring binoculars or a telescope if you have one. A reclining lawn chair is an ideal accessory, along with warm clothing and a blanket.
4. And it is dark so bring a SMALL, DIM flashlight to see where you are walking.
TESTIMONIALS
IT’S WORTH THE DRIVE
After reading your article about the new Lennox & Addington County Dark Sky Viewing Area, I decided to check it out. I am from Ottawa, and as stated in the article, it is becoming more and more difficult to find accessible dark areas that are open to the public late at night for stargazing. I must say that I was impressed with how easy it was to find the Lennox & Addington site and how dark the skies are there. I took several photographs that night and plan to return.

DARK SITE REPORT
Here are my impressions of my first visit to the Lennox & Addington County Dark Sky Viewing Area described in the September/October SkyNews. After checking The Weather Network’s forecast for the nearby village of Tamworth and the Clear Sky Chart for the L&A County dark site (http://cleardarksky.com/c/LnAStONkey.html?1), I decided to book a room at a motel near Napanee and make the drive from Hamilton, with the intention of enjoying two nights of observing at the site.
I was not disappointed. This is a wonderful location with a nearly unobstructed view in all directions. As an example, I was able to see the rich Scorpius star cluster M7 when it was only about seven degrees above the horizon.
Expecting, but not necessarily wanting, to be on my own at the site that night, I was pleasantly surprised when a father and son from Stoney Creek, Ontario—a three-hour drive away—pulled in. They had been there the previous night and were busily setting up for an astrophoto session on their final night.
On my second night, three enthusiasts pulled in with nothing more than lawn chairs and a pair of 25mm binoculars. They simply wanted to enjoy the naked-eye view. Although I had observing plans for the night, I got just as much pleasure out of letting them look through my 10-inch Newtonian scope and showing them how to find certain objects in the sky. The view of the Andromeda Galaxy and its companion galaxies, M32 and M110—all contained within a two-degree eyepiece field—resulted in several “wows!” Using the binoculars, one member of the trio was overjoyed at being able to find, on her own, the double cluster in Perseus, the Andromeda Galaxy and M33. Meanwhile, a couple from Belleville showed up with their NexStar 6. They were soon in GoTo heaven. This was beginning to turn into a small star party. A great time under a very dark sky was enjoyed by all.
The smooth, concrete observing platform has room for 7 to 10 telescopes, and an equal amount of fairly flat ground surrounding the observing platform is just as useful for setting up. I highly recommend this observing site to anyone who wants to escape light pollution and observe under the night sky as it was meant to be seen. It’s a three-hour drive for me, but I plan to make that drive on a regular basis in the future.

SITE OFFERS VERY EASY PUBLIC ACCESS FOR DARK MAG 6.5+ SKIES
I was only able to get one night out of this year's Orionids near their peak, but it was a good, productive session. I went to the new L&A County Public Dark Site near Kaladar. Located next to Highway 41, it offers very easy public access for dark mag 6.5+ skies, and I was curious to see this spot even though it's a fairly long 2 hour drive. When I arrived early to set up, the sky was solidly overcast. The predicted clearing eventually came much later, after 11pm. By then, I could go ahead and set up my cameras and equipment just as the Moon was setting. I was surprised to see four other observers join me (from Ottawa, Belleville and even as far away as Montreal). One of them showed up after 2am to enjoy the winter constellations. It was a nice night, with average (3/5) transparency, and a gegenshein barely visible happening to be in the darkest part of the sky. The temperature was comfortable except for a humidity rise (with dewing/frost) near the end. I faced the south-east and kept my field of view centered at 50 degrees for the entire night. It was a good night with activity seen from every active source. With five hours of recording, I got a total of 144 meteors (82 Orionids, 12 North Taurids, 8 South Taurids, 7 Epsilon Geminids, 5 Leo Minorids and 30 sporadics). My general impression was that of a very typical Orionid return. A lot of faint stuff. Only two negative magnitude Orionids were seen. The best meteor appeared at 2am EDT. It was a very impressive golden-yellow mag -3 Leo Minorid that shot 40 degrees into the south, leaving behind a 2 sec train. It was bright enough to capture the attention of other observers who were busy with their scopes or cameras.
