Stargazers in Ontario got quite the show as the northern lights illuminated the skies overnight Sunday.
ideal stargazing conditionsJones has been photographing the night sky for nearly a decade and has captured thousands of shots of southern Ontario's rare Aurora Borealis display.“You'll see much more if you're able to get away from the city lights and get somewhere a little darker,” he said.
Jones also recommends giving your eyes some time to adjust to the darkness to best view the night sky and to spot celestial sights beyond the moon. “If you go straight outside, your eyes aren't going to be ready to see anything, so let your eyes adapt to the darkness for 25 minutes or so,” he said. Ontario's federal dark-sky preserves include Point Pelee National Park in Essex County, Fathom Five National Marine Park, and Bruce Peninsula National Park near Tobermory, Ont.
Some spots recommended for stargazing, but without official dark-sky designation, include Binbrook Conservation Area in Niagara, Ont., Torrance Barrens in Gravenhurst, Ont., and Lennox and Addington Dark Sky Viewing Area in Napanee, Ont.
