David Dunlap Observatory

The observatory of the University of Toronto, Canada, located 25 kilometres (15 miles) north of the university campus. It was presented to the university in 1935 by Mrs Dunlap as a memorial to her husband. The main instrument is a 1.88-metre (74-inch) reflector, the largest in Canada. Domes on top of the administration building house 0.5-metre and 0.6-metre reflectors. The observatory is used for training students and fostering public interest in astronomy, as well as research.
