 During 2009 Canada and 140 other countries will be celebrating the

explore the heavens.
Special Presentations are being planned for many of the Observer Nights at All-Star Telescope. Check back for updates as other events are scheduled.
Observer Nights: Every Observer Night at All-Star Telescope offers you a "Galileo Moment" when you have opportunity to view the wonders of the night sky. Visit our Observer Nights page for additional information on attending an Observer Night.
