Crystal clear nights, no light pollution
The climate in Namibia is generally dry, with a very high percentage of clear nights and sunny days. The Namibian winter months from May to September offer ideal atmospheric conditions for astronomy. During this time, temperatures can drop below freezing at night, while it usually gets 15–20 ° C during the day. The large distance to the next town, 130 km as the crow flies to Windhoek, but also the fact that we only accommodate astronomers, excludes disturbing light sources.
