+Derbyshire Dave Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Planning to head off with the caravan in search of dark skies, somewhere near Rhyadaer in mid Wales. Anyone know of any good campsites around there that would be good for astrophotography? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ibbo Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 We went to Llanfair Caereinion Near Welshpool. yes it was good as the cottage next to the campsite turned off the lights and used the curtains after the 1 st night. We went on the steam train and Harry enjoyed it as well as us. The only downside was the fair sized hill to the south. +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al.Grant Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Using that dark sky map the campsite we go to in Wales has a value of 0.31 ....... My home address is a 4.31 ! Far darker skies although being sat at the bottom of Cadir Idris does mean views are a bit restricted in most directions .... but if you look up then it's amazing!
