Stargazing and Astrophotography in Brecon with Dark Sky Wales

Stargazing and Astrophotography in Brecon with Dark Sky Wales

Friday 20th January 2023 from 18:00pm to 21:00pm

Brecon - Libanus Mountain Centre
Libanus, Brecon, Powys, LD3 8ER, Wales

Discover the wonders of the nighttime skies in a small group of fellow stargazers with experienced astronomers and astrophotographers from Dark Sky Wales.

Learn your way around the constellations, spotting familiar and less-familiar constellations of the northern hemisphere. Find deep-sky objects, including star clusters, galaxies and nebula, using telescopes (provided).

You will also be shown how to set up a telescope correctly before viewing and photographing some magnificent objects. No prior knowledge or equipment is needed, but feel free to bring both!

And if you know someone who would enjoy this stargazing and astrophotography session in the Brecon Beacons, you can buy them a stargazing experience voucher.

Please note that this has already taken place on 20/01/2023

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.
