Dark Skies training

Here’s an exciting opportunity to be part of a county wide initiative measuring the quality of our night skies.  Dark Skies Herefordshire have purchased 7 sky quality meters for measuring light pollution.  We are arranging our first light measuring session in April, and have organised the training session for 7pm on Tuesday 2nd April at the Green Man.

Our readings need to be taken on a clear night four days before or after the new moon on the 8th April, so our survey window is between 3rd and 13th April. To take part, you would need to be available between 2nd April (for the training) and the 13th April.

The project employs a data analyser who will receive the data collected and transcribe it into a report.  Places are limited so please get in touch if you’d like to be involved.
