application. A one lb wooden jig (substituting for the 250 lb steel mount) was pivoted so that the shadow from the plumb bob fell exactly along one of the pre-drawn lines. Once the alignment process was completed with the jig, guide holes were drilled into the concrete base before the actual steel pier was fitted atop. Once it was confirmed that the guide holes were properly aligned to the steel pier, three 12" threaded rods were epoxied into fully drilled holes and allowed to set over night.

to ensure that lighting controls fall within the best practices of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. On February 28, 2018, Killarney Provincial Park joined the list of prestigious locations designated as a Dark-Sky Preserve by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. In keeping with the requirements of the Dark-Sky Preserve designation, the Park provides education on proper lighting use and controls as part of its regular programming.

The new program will include all of the existing astronomer in residence activities plus will take advantage of the capabilities of both observatories to display astronomical objects and events. This will include live steams and multimedia presentations to not just the Killarney Provincial Park public but to a much wider audience. 259: 1267: 1255: 178: 1207: 27: 1243: 1219: 967:
the cast steel pier mount with approximately 5 degrees of play so a very accurate alignment onto the concrete base would be required to ensure that the necessary tolerances would accommodate the play provided. Using a compass is tricky and often inaccurate due to the rebar within the concrete pier interfering with the compass' magnetic reading. So another solution was required.

Because the location is subject to significant frost heaving, 6000 pounds of concrete were poured to a depth of 6' deep to form a foundation and 36" diameter solid concrete pier. Once the concrete had set, it was time to worry about preparation for the alignment of the cast steel pier. Meade provides

In this regard, the Killarney Provincial Park Observatory was North America's first free, public, self-use facility in North America. 476:
Killarney Provincial Park has been designated as a Wilderness Class Provincial Park within Ontario. As such, its development plan includes significant provisions to protect all of the pristine wilderness that it governs. In keeping with this special designation, significant attention has been spent

On September 28, 2019 at the Stars over Killarney event, the Observatory was given its official name - Kchi Waasa Debaabing (g-CHEH WAH-suh De-BAH-bing) which, in Anishinaabemowin means,"seeing very far (as far the eye can see)" or "the very far in the distance seeing". The name was given in honour

A 10" Meade 2120 LX3 on a fork mount within a SkyShed POD system was opened to the public on July 17, 2010. At the time, the observatory was the first public use observatory in any provincial park. This setup provided excellent views but limited automation. In 2011, the telescope mount was upgraded

To support the weight of the telescope system (over 500 lbs) and to ensure that the system was set up for long term maintenance-free use, it was decided to set everything atop a rigid, fixed equatorial mount. The Meade Permanent Equatorial pier was chosen and custom cast to the latitude of

In 2010, to celebrate 25 consecutive years of astronomy education provided by Bruce Waters, it was decided to establish a permanent facility (observatory building and telescope system) that could meet the following requirements. To be available for:
