Gambia Tourist Support

Heavens Above

Katim S Touray sent me this link and the information about using it. An excellent site that will take co-ordinates for anywhere in the world.
So it's ideal for using at home or before you take your trip to Gambia, where the skies are often crystal clear and the nights are warm, spot Hubble, Mir and loads more

Once connected to the above site

Scroll down to Gambia (under "G") and in the search box, type the name of the town or city you are in. For example, when you type "Kololi" and press the "Search" button, you'll get a page with Kololi information.

Just click on "Kololi" and it will load the page with all the information you need to view objects from Kololi.

That's pretty much it! You might have to read up on the sky charts and stuff, but it's not that much of a big deal.

Many thanks to Katim for making the site an even richer Gambia resource
