The Moon and observing
The Moon is the main source of natural sky glow: around full Moon, faint nebulae and galaxies vanish even under dark skies. Plan deep-sky sessions near new Moon, and use bright nights for the Moon itself and the planets. The AstroTools app folds the Moon phase into its night score automatically.
