Calendar for 2025

This calendar will allow you to plan your viewing experience. The darker the date, the darker the sky and the better deep sky views will be. Dark grey gets you a bit of moon, but also some of the brighter deep sky objects. Anything more than light grey will have have a washed out sky, more suitable to lunar viewing. Red represents full moon and should be avoided unless you only want to look at the moon.  A partial moon suitable for seeing the craters  will occur in the period 3 to 5 days after new moon. During this period the sky remains quite dark.  the period from about 5 days after full moon is also alright, as the bright moon rises quite late. view the next year calendar (available after October) here.
