Last Update há um mês

Stargazing is highly dependent on current sky and site conditions.

Visibility may be affected by:

  • clouds;
  • smoke;
  • wildfire;
  • haze;
  • moonlight;
  • nearby artificial lighting;
  • horizon obstructions;
  • wind;
  • temperature;
  • precipitation;
  • site access;
  • celestial position;
  • season.

BTD Tours cannot guarantee clear skies, dark skies, the Milky Way, planets, galaxies, nebulae, meteor showers, eclipses, aurora, comets, or other celestial events.

A confirmed program may need to change location, timing, viewing targets, equipment, or format because of conditions.

Warm layers and red-light flashlights may be recommended. Guests must follow equipment and safety instructions.
