STAR COUNT: Campaign to Protect Rural England Star Count 2019 2 - 23 February. Help us reclaim our dark skies. Dark, starry skies are one of the most magical sights the countryside can offer. But light pollution means many of us can’t see the stars. We want to reconnect people with the wonder of our glorious night skies. You can take part in #StarCount2019 and help us find our darkest skies, to ensure more of us can experience this natural wonder. Our Star Count will take place this February, with support from the British Astronomical Association, and we’ll be asking you to look up at the night sky and tell us how many you can see in Orion. You can do this from anywhere in England. Your results will help us to create a map showing the best places to enjoy the stars. And it will also support our work to combat light pollution and reclaim our dark skies.

In Upper Dicker a good place would be the footpath through Bede’s golf course and best between February 2 to 9 on an evening with a cloudless sky. See web for all information: www.cpre.org.uk click arrows on the large picture to find the event.
