Scarborough & Ryedale Astronomical Society hold regular public stargazing at the Low Dalby Astronomy Centre in Dalby Forest held during the autumn and winter months. Come and see the stars, planets, nebulae and galaxies under one of the darkest skies in the country. The site of the society observatories was awarded the Milky Way Class of the UK Dark Sky Discovery Award in January 2013 and is now part of the North Yorks Moors Dark Sky Reserve.
Please wrap up warm and bring along a torch (preferably with a red filter to preserve yours & others night vision).
Please avoid shining white light torches near the observatories, during the event or at other’s faces, as it will take 20 minutes for eyes to readjust to the dark.
Take extra care in the car park also.
Should it be forecast for cloudy skies during the evening, we will be giving a talk in the courtyard outside the Visitor Centre as we no longer have access to an indoor space.
Please ensure you dress appropriately for the weather, as it can get cold after dark in the forest.
Unfortunately, if the weather is forecast for rain/snow/ice, as we no longer have access to an indoor space, the event would then be cancelled.
The Event itself is FREE however Forestry England still charge on exiting the forest – charge is reduced (QR code supplied at event).
No dogs allowed during the event.
Charitable donations welcomed.
Suggested donation of £2 per adult and £1 per child.
