Hi guys,
I'm just posting this thread because I'm planning on doing a bit of star gazing this weekend (without a telescope) so just with the naked eye. Apparently there's a meteor shower Saturday morning this weekend. I'm planning on taking one of my friends there, as she'll be leaving overseas for good next week.
I've researched a little bit and there seems to be suggestions to go to Snake Valley or Heathcote. I've looked at the like pollution map and it seems that Snake valley and Heathcote are both in the low-light pollution areas.
I just wanted to know, are there certain areas in Snake Valley or Heathcote that i could go to? A nice peak or trail or something. I've called a helpful man named Ken twice in regards to weather Snake valley is a good place to star gaze (he was extremely friendly) and he confirms that it is, but he usually does a lot of meetings at the observatory and i don't want to call him and bother him again as but I'm interested in just taking a look with our eyes, sit down, have a snack etc.
Can anybody help with some suggestions? Any sites that i could sit at or stand... any trails or somewhere high?
Thanks!
