​Ever wondered what you are looking at up there, high in the heavens?

Several factors affect stargazing. Cloud cover is the most common downer. Also, conditions like transparency, referring to the clarity in the sky, affect your ability to see the night sky. The stability of the atmosphere also plays a significant role in stargazing as does your patience and warm clothing.

A very lovely way to spend a balmy summer evening wandering up the valley and watching the stars. Or in winter, from the balcony when there is not too much glare from the flood lit Staubbach Falls.
