In Person Star Gazing Night

Date: November 13, 2026 ‑ 7:30pm ‑ 9:00pm

With Astronomer lan we hope to see:

• The waxing crescent Moon and Saturn through the telescope
• The Andromeda Galaxy and Pleiades star cluster using binoculars
• The Dumbbell and Ring Nebulae
• The rising constellation Taurus the Bull and the planet Uranus

Ian will also guide us through the highlights of the November night sky, using his telescope and answer questions along the way. Using the power of digital astronomy technology, we will view objects that one normally needs very dark skies to see.

When: Friday, November 13, 6:30-8pm

What to bring:

• Your own binoculars if you have them
• A flashlight for the walk down the path

What to wear: Dress appropriately for the weather. (It will be colder by the lake)

Location: We will meet by the Gazebo at the Port Union Waterfront Park (dependent on the weather). (Port Union & Lawrence)

Who: All ages are welcome.

Weather Conditions:
** This event is weather-dependent, so be sure to watch this website (sportsandrec.ca) and our social media pages for any updates before you head out.
