Lion’s Head Marina at the Peninsula Observation Deck (POD) in Lion's Head, ON, CanadaBayside Astronomy
Bayside Astronomy is a free program that seeks to educate the public on the wonders of astronomy, the benefits of dark sky lighting and the need to reduce light pollution.
Come here for program updates, cancellations and more.
Our celestial tours start the Friday of Canada Day all the way to the end weekend of Labour Day (June 26 – August 30). Bayside Astronomy will be running five days a week during this time. Our main location is the POD by the Lion's Head Marina; it will be active on Fridays and Saturdays.
Sessions begin after sunset and run 60-75 minutes.
We will (as long as it's not too cloudy!) show you the rings of Saturn, the stripes of Jupiter's chaotic atmosphere, and the sights of distant galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters! We have a lot to show, and only so much time to do it, so we hope to see you there this summer!
Where - Lion’s Head Marina at the Peninsula Observation Deck (POD)
Parking – free after 8pm. The lot can fill up quickly, but there is street parking a short walk from the Marina as well.
FREE & open to everyone - whether you're a seasoned stargazer or just curious about what's up there, come join us for a free evening under the stars across the beautiful Bruce Peninsula.
A note about LIGHT –
Although visibility is important for safety, white light ruins your night vision for up to 45 minutes. Here are some tips for preserving your ability to see the most stars:
- Avoid looking at your phone. If available, put it on “night mode”, and on stargazing apps, see if there is a “red light” option.
- Shield your eyes from oncoming headlights or similar bright lights.
- Avoid using your flashlight near the telescopes or during the programming; this will disrupt the vision of those around you as well.
- If you have a head lamp, it may have a “red light” mode – this light will not disrupt your eyes!
