The Royal Astronomy Society of Canada (RASC) held a special members-only tour of the David Dunlap Observatory on a very snowy February 2011 Saturday evening. It was hosted by the DDO's chairmain & all-out astronomy expert Paul Mortfield (http://www.BackyardAstronomer.com ). Find out more about the history of this iconic 74" Canadian telescope (brought online 1935) at http://www.theddo.ca and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Dunlap_Observatory . For a full technical overview of the telescope, please refer to this Univ. of Toronto document, http://www.astro.utoronto.ca/DDO/instruments/instruments.html . The DDO also has a Facebook page at "David Dunlap Observatory". Also refer to the photos page at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=49641&id=1814022886&l=53521e2806

  • Gace = Gave

  • I just came back from a setup with a presentation and all.. It had a pic of mars ive seen before only this one had a red outline of an atmosphere.. Not the blue earth like outline ive seen, like i said on the same pic of mars. I ask a guy who had his telescope on the moon if hed seen ufo, clouds, lights, vehicles.. Ect before and he really didnt awnser.. Gace me shit like "we don't really watch the moon.. To bright" i got the feeling he was covering up something..

  • It looks like it could use some restoration work. I hope they actually do that.
