Join the friendly members of the Torbay Astronomical Society for this one of their regular monthly meetings in The Forum at Torbay Boys’ Grammar School.

The event includes a presentation by a guest speaker and a chance to catch up with local astronomers.

Although no practical astronomy occurs during these particular events, it is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the group, their activities and regular observation sessions at the school observatory.

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.
