Glenn LeDrew (Observing the Structure of our Galaxy) is an accomplished astrophotographer who has travelled to the ends of the world to observe and photograph deep sky wonders. He lives in Ottawa, where he runs an astronomical business called The Starry Room, which features a Starlab planetarium and utilizes his own unique all-sky photographic projector. He travels throughout the province giving planetarium shows to schools and special interest groups (glenn_ledrew@hotmail.com).

Glenn will lead a tour of our sector of the Milky Way Galaxy, with emphasis on the objects and large scale features visible with the naked eye and small instruments. Spiral arms, dark clouds of dust, clusters, nebulae, star forming regions and the little-known Gould's Belt will be put into perspective. Beginners and veteran skywatchers will obtain a fresh perspective on the night sky.
