Everyone is invited to join astronomers from Cleethorpes & District Astronomical Society for this one of their monthly Friday evening beginners sessions that run from September through May. (We believe these events take place on the third Friday of each month).

The sessions are ideal for absolute beginners and novices and will cover a wide variety of topics including an introduction to finding your way around the night sky, learning about various deep sky objects and observing them using telescopes (weather permitting).

If you have a telescope of your own you are very welcome to bring it along. The cost for each session is only £2 for adults and £1 for children. Please contact the John at the Society for more details.

Please note that this event has already taken place on 19/02/2021

Event darkness

The Moon has a big impact on the visibility of celestial bodies in the night sky. Try to plan your stargazing when there is no bright Moon at night as this is when the skies will be at their darkest.

The below chart shows if and when the skies will be at their darkest during this event. Moonlight is shown in light yellow and the Sun's twilight in light blue. Midnight on the date shown is shown as a white line with sunset to the left and sunrise the next morning to the right. A black background with stars shows the best times for stargazing.
