Summer Star Party @ Ontario Science Centre

On a clear Friday night, after the rain stopped and the clouds cleared I went out for a night of star observation at the Ontario Science Centre with my friend T.

We were a little late as Venus already set, but Mars and Saturn were waiting for us.
T's first Telescope experience
Equipped with my favorite camera, I walked from telescope to telescope amazed at the clarity of Saturn's rings. I could see the shadow they were casting on it. Saturn's moon (Titan) was just as clear.
With permission (of course) I took out my camera and started to play.
The following are my series of photos that I am hoping OSC will take to publish (I submitted them!!)
Hope this gives you a glimpse of the magical universe we live in.
