Why are Canadian astronomers so keen on going to Chile to study the stars with a small telescope? First and foremost, the southern half of the celestial sphere contains scientifically exciting and unique objects which have long been neglected. Secondly the rapid growth of Canadian cities and the cloudy Canadian climate renders nearby telescopes less effective than they used to be for some (though not all) types of research.
