About this Event
Astronomy enthusiast Michael Lomotey from "Stow Stargazers" will lead us through an engaging presentation introducing the basics of stargazing and essential tips for astronomy in an urban setting.
The evening will also feature an exclusive guided walk through the reserve to view the night sky (weather permitting) with a chance try out what we have learnt during the presentation and to try to locate a few constellations. The event will take place regardless of the weather and night sky conditions, and is a chance to enjoy this wonderful urban nature reserve after hours.
It’s not essential but feel free to bring binoculars and a red-light torch. Wrap up warm for your exclusive evening tour. All profits from this event are invested into London Wildlife Trust’s conservation and education work and the care of its nature reserves.
Stowstargazers brings people together to enjoy nature whilst experiencing the night sky. We have a passion for sharing knowledge and advice on all aspects of stargazing, learning together what is on show and giving tips for how to view the celestial sights. Michael of Stowstargazers has been an avid hobby astronomer ever since being captivated by the milky way as a child.
