If you want to try out a few telescopes or learn how to get the most out of your model, these are the evenings for you. AAS members are also on hand to point out features of the night sky. The event reverts indoors if the skies are cloudy.

Members of the public are welcome… Please note that these sessions can also be accessed online; please contact the Society for more details.

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.
