Few images from tonight, very clear so the Milky Way really stood out. Red/pink diffusion from the aurora with an arc and columns. Light winds and cold. Lots of meteors missed 6 or 7 on camera and only managed to capture one😊

Join us for one of our dark sky nights

What to Expect:

Each session will last approximately 2 hours. Starting with a short indoor introduction to stargazing, and how to start to identify constellations and night sky objects. We'll then venture outside. to walk in the darkness and view the nights sky.

Walking in the dark:

Our walks are suitable for all ages, most viewpoints will be reached within a short 20-30 minute hike. Please be aware that they will be undertaken at night on footpaths and uneven ground which may be more difficult for some.
