Gigha Village Hall
Ardminish, Isle of Gigha, Isle of Gigha, PA41 7AD

Join the Dark Skies Gigha team and guests for an evening of talks and dark sky photography. Learn how to predict the aurora, take photos of star trails and an introduction to landscape photography. Stay on late to try out your new photography skills! Don’t forget your camera/phone, warm clothes and a flask of hot drink! This event occurs at the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, too, so hopefully lots of shooting stars!

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.
