Dark Skies Guide

Our Island is a truly special place for Dark Skies – with over 25 official dark skies sites, designated as ‘Milky Way discovery sites’ – meaning the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye!

We created this booklet originally to encourage people to step out and look up - a quick start guide to what to look for in each season and some handy ideas for stargazing. The calendar will no longer be relevant, but the rest of the booklet makes a great introduction for any budding astronomers!
