Stardust
Description
From the photographer: “For the past 4 years I have attended the Manitoulin Star Party, I have had presentations and met many great people, here are 9 regulars that I have been privileged to meet over the years plus one new friend making the circle of 10 of us. The shot started with a test shot with no one and gradually we hurried everyone over this was the third shot of 3 and was a memory that will last forever in the dark sky preserve in Gordon’s Park on Manitoulin Island a place where hopefully we can forever share the night sky truly magical. The reason the photo is called stardust is because we are all made up of the same atoms as a star and people coming together to share whatever it may be that we each know…”

Great Shot showing the togetherness of our group and our common celebration of the beauty and wonder of the night sky!
February 21, 2013 at 2:58 pmThis is just one of the many fabulous pictures Aaron has taken from our Dark Sky Preserve at Gordon’s Park on Manitoulin Island in Ontario, Canada. The fact that the milky way is surrounded by our most regular group of astronomers makes it very special. We are very proud of Aaron and his many talents which he shares annually with a slide show at our star parties during the summer. Congratulations Aaron, this is fantastic!
