David Dunlap Observatory

As I mentioned on April 2nd, the University of Toronto is currently planning on selling the David Dunlap Observatory - Canada's largest optical telescope - and surrounding area, which is due to the necessity of maintaining dark skies for the telescope, is a wildlife reserve. This decision, not surprisingly, has generated a fair bit of controversy. I recently received some more information on the issue from people opposed to the sale, which you can read about here and here. I'd be very interested to hear your opinions on the matter, please post them below.

Thanks.
