info

 

What month is best for stargazing?

The best time for watching the after-dark activity even has a name—the "observing season." Normally, it starts in April and ends in October. This way, you have relatively long nights to catch the stars and warm weather conditions to enjoy the experience fully.
 

Can you go stargazing during full moon?

Therefore, the time during full Moon is the worst time to stargaze — at this time, even dark sky sites free from artificial light pollution are no darker than a city centre! The best time to go stargazing is the days before, during and soon after each new Moon, when there is no Moon in the sky.

What is the best moon for stargazing?

The darkest skies will be around the new moon, when the moon rises and sets with the sun. So the moon is not in the night-time sky. Therefore, both the morning and evening sky are moon-free and great for stargazing.
