Møn and Nyord are some of the darkest places in Scandinavia, and the islands have been awarded the IDA International Dark Sky Park designation as an area possessing an exceptional or distinguished quality of starry nights and a nocturnal protected environment.
We offer guided nighttime tours and stargazing opportunities in the Dark Sky Park of Møn and Nyord, by providing tour participants with the chance to stargaze using quality telescopes, binoculars, and other stargazing equipment.
The Dark Sky Guides are storytellers who deliver personable, memorable tours that focus on showcasing the night sky, the moon and neighboring planets, deep sky objects like distant nebulae and star clusters, the Milky Way Galaxy, constellations, and even Aurora Borealis, meteor showers and nocturnal creatures.
We also bring cameras and take photos, so you can bring back photos of yourself beneath the starry sky if you wish.

A planisphere is a useful tool for amateur astronomers and stargazers to identify and locate celestial objects in the night sky. It is a circular map or chart that represents the entire celestial sphere as viewed from a specific location on Earth. The chart typically consists of two rotating disks: an outer one with a transparent window and an inner one with a map of the stars.
Here's how a planisphere works:
