5 ways to save on a skywatching trip
Take a ride-shareWith rising fuel prices taking a trip to your favorite skywatching spot is likely to be one of the most expensive parts of stargazing on location. That, combined with the purchase of a vehicle, including taxing, insurance, and maintenance and servicing costs all add up to quite a few pennies. To remedy this cost consider ride-sharing and split the cost of fuel with a friend.
Alternatively, if you can time it right, a bus trip might be the best option of all. But you'll have to make sure you can reach the location in plenty of time so we recommend arriving before sunset to get set up in a good spot. Bus routes can be restricted too, and often don't travel far out of the city and other populace areas, so it might not be the best method for you to travel. A taxi would be an alternative to a bus, but these are much more costly.
If camping in a tent isn't for you why not consider hiring out a campervan? There are plenty of options available online and likely to be many available in your local area. However, booking ahead is crucial because campervan popularity has soared since the pandemic first began.Bring your own stove and some food to prepare a meal or make a coffee for the night ahead
Chances are, you won't be able to eat out anyway because the best skywatching spots will be away from built-up areas. Even if there is an eatery nearby, it's better to get to your location during the last few daylight hours to get set up with cameras, binoculars, telescopes, and if you're camping then getting that tent pitched might take a while, too.
