Stargazing with the Dark Sky Ranger
We are all fascinated by the night sky and this is an opportunity for you to explore it with me, a Dark Sky Ranger. The best and darkest stargazing is found in and around where I am based in the Galloway and Southern Aryshire Biosphere and Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park, These are superb areas for stargazing because it is so dark with very little light pollution. The rest of Dumfries and Galloway is great too, when you get away from the towns so there are lots of places that we can choose from for your stargazing experience |
When are the best times to stargaze?
Winter, early Spring and late Autumn are the best times for stargazing as it gets darker earlier and stays dark for longer so stargazing can start all the sooner. However it is possible to go out in the Summer as long as you don't mind staying up late. There are all kinds of stargazing experiences you can have.
I will help set something up so that you can enjoy your star watching experience. Unfortunately there is nothing that I can do about the weather however I try to be as flexible as possible on dates, times and places to give you as good a chance as possible to see some stars. I also have alternative activities that allow us to have a dark sky outdoor experience whatever the weather. |
