Guest CodnorPaul Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Does anyone have a good dark sky place near the Ripley/Crich area - new to astronomy and have a 4" reflector as a starter scope and want to try it in a real location (just been in back garden so far). Would be on my own so someone easy to get to and relatively safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glider Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 The EMS dark site at Belper Cricket Club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 The Belper site would not be too far from Ripley, I envy you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glider Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Yep, come and see what it's like then you could join the Dark Site Group if you like it, £20/year and you get the use of 2 sites, we have another near Sawley, M1 J24. Plus, you get access to other areas on the Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
