Dark sites Gævleborg.

Post by Cloengaa »

Is there any astonomers out there living in Gævleborg læn that know of good dark sites ?

I am looking to spend my spring and summer camping around and would love to find some good dark sites.

Hi

In the northwestern parts of Gävleborg you will find wery dark skies from autumn to spring if you avoid the small population centers. During the summer thy sky is very bright even at midnight and it becomes brighter the further north you travel.

So if you want to find dark skies you will have to be out camping in april or may when it still can be very cold during the nights.

God spots can be found by using Google Earth/NASA city lights feature.
