Everyone is invited to join the friendly astronomers from Crawley Astronomical Society for this one of their regular third-Friday of the month meetings. These events are suitable for anyone with an interest in astronomy — enjoy a talk on an astronomical topic, often with guest speakers, and then (weather permitting) observe the skies using telescopes. If you have your own telescope take it along for some expert advice!

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.
