Dark Sky Trips or observing events
Planned dates
When: We are planning in dark site trips for the last quarter Moon so that we will have dark skies until the early hours of the morning
Place: We have a dark site in the South Downs National Park which has the potential for mag 21+ skies, though we often go to much closer (though slightly less dark) skies near Dorking.
