Help

DarkOutdoors is here to help you get more out of Astronomy.  Whether it’s to find events near you, publicise your own favourite observing locations or events, or meet and chat to other astronomers, DarkOutdoors is here for you.

These help pages are just to get you started – covering stuff like registration on the site and giving general tips and advice.

Using DarkOutdoors

A great place to start is to read our guide to registering on DarkOutdoors.

It’s important to familiarise yourself with our Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) – contravening this will result in us limiting, or in the worst cases removing your access.  In particular, the AUP covers aspects such as advertising and use by charities and commercial organisations.

Observing Safely

If you’re going to visit any of the sites you find on DarkOutdoors, please read our safety tips to help you ensure your own safety and security.

Privacy Policy

We take your privacy seriously – very seriously, in fact, and so we have a privacy policy that describes precisely what we do with your personal data (though we don’t ask for much of that anyway).  If you’ve got any concerns, here is where you can iron them out.
