Stargazing can be frustrating where visibility is affected by street lights and other light pollution.

Now observers seeking elusive or faint astronomical objects can use the Philip's Dark Skies Map to find their nearest dark site and the best route there. Published in association with the British Astronomical Association's Campaign for Dark Skies, this map is a must for astronomers who want to find the darkest observing sites in the British Isles.

The map has been produced using data from the Light Pollution Science and Technology Institute in Italy, carefully combined with a Philip's road map (scale 20 miles to 1 inch). Different colours represent different levels of light pollution, and this information has been superimposed over the road map.
