Description

Plan:

We’ll meet at Winklmoosalm to watch the sunset and then lie on the meadow to enjoy the meteor shower. At the Starpark, we’ll observe the stars, the Milky Way, and the Perseids. Feel free to bring a mat to lie on while stargazing. A sleeping bag or warm blanket is recommended, as it can get quite chilly at night.




Preliminary Schedule:

~ 18:00 — Departure from Munich

~ 19:45 — Arrival at Winklmoosalm Parkplatz

~ 20:30 — Sunset viewing

~ 00:00 — Departure from Winklmoosalm (flexible per car; possibly earlier around 23:00)

~ 01:45 — Back in Munich



Note:

More people are currently interested in this event than there are cars available. Please add your car and number of free seats.


If you’re able to leave Munich at 15:00, you can also include a short hike before the stargazing. Check out my “hike + stargazing event” from last year for more details.


Moon:

-> this week the meteor shower is better visible. Next week the moon will shine too bright.


Weather forecast for 31.7 (checked on 30.7):

-> looks dry after 7pm in the night. 


Good to know

RED LIGHT POLICY: For our best viewing experience we will not allow any other than red light, which does not disturb human night vision. You must bring a headlamp or torch with red light. The red light must be activated directly, without cycling through other light modes.

Camera flash must be disabled. Activate the blue light filter (night mode) on your smartphone, if it supports it.

Hi everyone, I’d be interested in joining! I have a DL but no car. I’d be glad to rent a car and drive if there are enough (say min. 4) people interested. Just let me know if you’re interested. Best, Haye

Hi Maria-Anna, thanks for expressing your interest! Let’s see how many people are interested - depending on the number of people joining, I can make an estimate of the cost pp. Best, Haye

Update on the weather: The latest forecast on Meteoblue shows no rain after 7pm. Good to go! However, the grass will be wet, so consider bringing a waterproof blanket or tarp if you have one.

Last year some people also brought a sleeping bag to stay warm in the night. Maybe useful.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make. If someone is interested from the waiting list, you can take my seat in Robert's car.
