Ontario in August!

[The Warthog]

The North York Astronomy Association's Star Fest will be held from August 24-27th this year. Canada is even cheaper than the good ol' USA for tourists. I suggest a flight into Toronto, and hire a car. Bring a small tent in your luggage, and light sleeping bags and enough clothes. August is usually warm and dry. Insects are minimal by late August, so you should have a comfortable time.

The rates and registration for 2006 are not posted yet, but I will keep you informed.

This Star Party attracts about 1,000 eager amateurs.

Do you reckon I could get my 8" newt in the overhead locker?

As long as it doesn't bang into mine!
