Re: Astronomical Twilight?
It means that in the evening astronomical twilight (when the sky is as dark as it is going to get) ends (meaning its finally dark) at 11:36PM the night of the star party. The very first hints of dawn begin at 2:56AM -- just a few hours later in the summer!orbital1 wrote:When I see the following information related to star parties what does it mean:

Greetings,
Only in the summer, in the winter the nights are much longer, which gives you plenty of time to freeze your butt off looking at the stars.
