Spotted a potential site

[Colossal Plossl]

According to nightshift app conditions are excellent tonight between 21:30 and 02:00.

I think I might have found a good site with low light pollution.  Although not a Dark site.

Will let you know how I get on.

Google maps puts that location in the middle of the North Sea.

Keep safe.

If you haven’t already used it, it’s worth searching out darker skies using the light pollution map website. You can search for a location and then drop a pin to view the Bortle class value. Lymm is Bortle 6, but it’s not too far from Bortle 5 skies (the lower the Bortle class the darker the sky will be). Bortle 3 And better are only achievable from extremely remote locations.

To ‘fine tune’ your searches, refer to the SQM value (after you have placed a pin). This is the Sky Quality Meter value. In short, the higher value the better!
