  "summary": "Popular Hamilton-area observing site. Compromised by city light but very accessible.",
  "intro": "Binbrook is the honest answer to 'where can I observe on a Tuesday night?' for the half-million people stretched along the QEW between Mississauga and Niagara. The skyglow over Hamilton is real and there is no pretending Toronto isn't sitting twenty kilometres east. But the gates lock at sunset, the parking lot is paved, and the Hamilton Amateur Astronomers have been running public nights here for years — which means somebody almost always has a telescope set up.",
  "established": "Conservation area since 1970; long-running public observing site for the Hamilton Amateur Astronomers.",
  "drivingFromToronto": "≈ 1 hour west via the QEW.",
  "bestTime": "Crisp, dry winter nights between November and February — when low humidity actually punches through the city skyglow and Orion sits high overhead.",
  "highlights": [
    "Hamilton Amateur Astronomers hosts public nights here",
    "Gated, paved parking — no rough roads in the dark",
    "Open fields with a usable southern view despite light pollution"
  ],
  "tips": [
    "Park entry fee in season; check Conservation Hamilton hours",
    "Use a light-pollution filter on deep-sky targets",
    "Best for Moon, planets and double stars rather than faint nebulae"
  ],
  "whatToSee": "Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars at opposition, and brighter Messier objects like M42 and M13.",
