Daz Type-R Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hi Richard, Dark site info here.... http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/3119-belper-dark-site-information/ Cheers Doubt you will be able to see the link unless you have already paid your dark site subs. Like Martyn said above, the sun coming up has put stop to a few nights up at Belper, the Milky Way was stunning, I lost constellations there were that many stars. Need to wrap up warm though, it's a good 6-8 degrees colder at the dark site than Belper itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Meteoriot Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 If you cannot see the link. Info is :--- The Packhorse Ground Sandyford Lane Alderwasley Belper Derbyshire DE56 2DP. Co ordinates; 53 degrees 03' 38" North 1 degree 31' 19" West Thanks I have found Sandyford lane on Google Maps. I dont know how to use the co-ordinates though. About 2 thirds of the way up the Road if coming from Mansfield there looks to be some building s and an 'off road' on the left and opposite on the right there is a small patch with a Rusty container of somekind. Where in relation to this is the location please? Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
