Tips for stargazing in a Dark Sky Reserve
Choose a dark spot. The darker the sky, the more stars you will be able to see. Avoid areas with light pollution, such as towns and cities.
Give your eyes time to adjust to the dark. It can take up to 30 minutes for your eyes to fully adjust to the dark. Avoid using bright lights, such as torches and mobile phones, during this time.
Use a stargazing app. A stargazing app can help you to identify the stars and planets that you are seeing.
Be patient.
