Temperatures at our observing locations are usually much lower than on the coast, even during the summer months.
We recommend wearing warm clothing, comfortable footwear and dressing in layers. At altitudes above 2,000 metres (6,560 ft), temperatures often drop significantly after sunset.
Even if it is warm on the coast, you may pass through the sea of clouds during the drive and even encounter rain before reaching the clear skies above the clouds. For this reason, it is important to come prepared for mountain conditions.
Being warm and comfortable will allow you to enjoy the experience much more and focus on what really matters: exploring and understanding the night sky.
