Before you stargaze

• · Give your eyes about 10 minutes to adapt to the dark after arrival.
• · Keep flashlights and vehicle lights low for other stargazers.
• · Recheck ECCC warnings, representative AQHI or Info-Smog, wildfire smoke, cloud, wind, cold, heat, and the managing authority immediately before departure.
• · Verify the lawful arrival point, current park or site status, booking where required, actual road owner, fuel, services, and return separately from the sky score.
