Let’s photograph the C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) comet together in Ottawa
Exciting news for astronomy enthusiasts in Quebec and Ontario—a comet is gracing our skies! 🌠
I’ve had the privilege of capturing many comets over the years, and today, Monday, October 14th, 2024, we have a chance to photograph Comet C/2023 A3 together in Ottawa.
Let’s chase this cosmic visitor and, with a little luck and a clear horizon, capture some unforgettable shots. This event is FREE and open to everyone. While I can’t guarantee we’ll spot the comet (weather has its way), I’ll be there to help you find it and guide you in capturing stunning photos.
Interested in supporting the experience? Donations are welcome either before or during the event—cash is accepted. As a thank-you, I’ll send donors an email with additional details, including our meeting point.
Thank you and wishing you clear skies!
BTW! If you like to see the aurora, I organize Aurora tours and I have an upcoming workshop. All details are on https://laruchequebec.com/zenderfull-expo
Your guide
I’m Samer, the founder of Zenderfull, a small business based in Mégantic, Québec. I specialize in creating unique outdoor adventures under the stars, offering immersive astronomy and photography experiences. 🌌
All of my events are designed to be accessible—no prior experience required! They’re available in both French and English, and I even provide carpooling and accommodations at my chalet in the Mont Mégantic dark sky reserve.
My mission is simple: I believe everyone should have the chance to experience the beauty of a dark, starry sky. Whether you’re new to Quebec or a longtime resident, have a car or not, are young or old—everyone is welcome to discover the night sky, make lasting memories, and meet a community passionate about the stars, astronomy, photography, and the outdoors.
Let Zenderfull help you escape the routine and find your zen in the night sky. 🌟
Zenderfull is a compound word that means Zen & Wonderful, and it's the feeling I get when I'm outside observing the magic of the stars.
What participants say
« I had an absolute blast with Zenderfull on a night hike that I’ll never forget. As someone who’s obsessed with nature and the night sky, I had tried for years to catch the Aurora Borealis in Quebec without much luck. Then I found Zenderfull, and things got real. His Aurora chasing trip was like hitting the jackpot of stargazing. His knowledge was so impressive it felt like he had a direct line to the universe. 😂 »
« It was a great experience. Everything was perfect and I highly recommend. Totally worth it!
The instruction/directions for the astronomy hike were clear. We were given snacks and drinks for the hike. Samer had everything that was needed in case someone had forgot something (lamps, hiking poles, insect repellant, etc).
Samer gave a lot of information about astronomy during the hike which made it super interesting. »
« I had fun with my first hiking night experience with the organizer Samer under the stars sky. And thanks again for finding my glasses. Much appreciated! »
