Eastbourne Astronomical Society observing at Arlington Village Hall generally starts with a themed informational presentation and information regarding the current objects viewable in the night skies and observing if the skies are clear. If the skies are not clear general discussion and practical knowledge are offered. This meeting is ideal if you wish to discuss how to use telescopes for observing or imaging and to see some of the society telescopes in action.

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.
