Al-Wahbah Volcanic Crater — Stargazing Trip (Friday - 21 Nov.)

Overview

Al-Wahbah Crater is the largest and deepest volcanic crater in Saudi Arabia. Its location, far from city lights with dry desert air, makes it ideal for stargazing. 🌌
On November 21, with the new moon, the sky will be dark and perfect for observing galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. ✨
That night, we can also see Uranus at opposition, Saturn with its rings, and Jupiter later in the evening. 🔭
The trip includes key stops like Marble Mountain and the historic Zubaydah Trail with the Aqiq and Kharabah water reservoirs. 🏛️
Best tools for observation: the smart Unistellar Odyssey Pro telescope and the powerful Celestron NexStar 8SE. 🪐
An experience blending the beauty of nature, desert heritage, and the wonders of the night sky. 🌠
