Description

In partnership with Friends of the DAO, National Research Council of Canada, and Science Literacy Week, we present one final "encore" Star Party of Summer 2016! We have a great guest speaker lined up, plus all the other terrific activities you enjoyed all summer: planetarium, tours of the historic Plaskett telescope, observing through RASC members' telescopes and Centre of the Universe 16" telescope (both weather permitting), static displays inside the Centre of the Universe.

Tickets are required, and are FREE. One ticket required per person. Tickets will be available starting at 1pm, Friday September 16th. There is NO waiting list if tickets are sold out.

FAQs

What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?

The address of the observatory is 5071 West Saanich Rd. Walking and cycling up to the observatory are NOT permitted for safety reasons. Taxis are allowed to drop off/pick up at the top. If you arrive by bus, you must find a ride to the top.

Is smoking allowed at the Observatory?

No. Due to the dry conditions on the hill throughout the summer, and the difficulty for fire engines to summit the hill, there is absolutely no smoking allowed anywhere on the hill (Including e-cigarettes).
This extends everywhere, including your vehicle.
ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING.

Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?

Please use the organizer contact button (just above the map at the bottom of this page) and we'll try to get back to you ASAP.

Is my registration/ticket transferrable?

No. We ask that if you cannot attend, please cancel your registration to make your tickets available for others.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

Yes. Alternately, you may download your ticket to a device. Printed or downloaded tickets must be shown to gate staff for entry.

The name on the registration/ticket doesn't match the attendee. Is that okay?

No.
