WTK Best place for STAR GAZING?

[rere31]

I'm a big fan of astronomy and I'd like to know where is a good location for star gazing? Tranquil, safe and secured. Can anyone help me out? South preferably but i don't mind coming out of my zone.

Bamboo Cathedral/Tracking Station would be PERFECT, but that side just isn't too safe now.

In for suggestions also.

the astro society does organize sessions up there
but I think they kinda keeping it non-public last few years

I swear you see billions of stars in the night sky down Guaya side...past the Sea Wall.

go up the freeport up in the central range.

My friend has a house there and there is literally minimal light pollution.

We went in his back yard and spread two yoga mats and lie down with google star map and a cheap telescope.

my friend showed me all the constellations and stars and planets etc.
He asked me what planet i really wished to see and i said "uranus"

we had a pretty good time actually.

Anyways get Google Sky Map and it will tell you what stars and planets visible etc and real time location of the constellations.

Where, by their building on the highway there next to Bescrete?

[ruffneck_12]

the last time I saw plenty stars, was that time we had the nationwide blackout

[DFC]

You never realise how much light pollution affects the night sky, until a blackout happens and then you notice things in the sky that was never visible before.

Cool. Will see if I could take a pass later.

As far away from the cities as possible. But even still, with all the streetlights in unnecessary places there's so much light pollution everywhere you still can't see that much. I was in Grenada last year and even driving along the road I could see the stars better than a moonless night I went turtle watching in Mathura.

ato boldon stadium car park is fairly good place, it far from settlement with light pollution.

you can actually see planes on piarco approach and circling from there

Go to the back by the small training pitch, the carpark has too much lights otherwise.
