Is Tonight Good for Stargazing in Warsaw?

Clear, dark skies tonight (about 31% cloud) with the Moon well out of the way. This is about as good as it gets — from a dark site away from city lights you'll see the Milky Way, faint stars, and any active meteor shower.

READING TONIGHT'S SKY…

How dark is the sky over Warsaw?

Sky class (estimate)Bortle 8 · City sky

Like most large cities, the centre of Warsaw sits high on the Bortle scale (around class 8), so the Milky Way and faint stars are lost to the glow. For dark sky, head well away from the city lights.

Even on the clearest, Moonless night, a bright city sky limits what you can see. For the Milky Way and faint stars from Warsaw, you'll need to travel well clear of the city lights.
