Paint the Sky With Stars: Windsor Riverfront Stargaze 2014

Well I can actually say that I have seen the Moon, Mars, Jupiter and its 4 moons, and Saturn (with its rings) very clearly through the lenses of multiple telescopes, in the night sky.

Definitely the most unique date night I've EVER experienced before!



We had a really great evening and so here are a few photos I took:

Gorgeous sunset - Ambassador Bridge to start the evening

First telescope we looked out of
Another telescope, a real beauty to look out of.




Getting darker so let's see some stars and planets!

Huge telescope! This project took approx. 3 years to build.

The mirror alone inside cost $10,000!
