17 nights in a row meeting 4 h with the moon below the horizon. 20 qualify across the 30.
The usable moonless stretch collapses to nothing around it. A good week for planets, doubles and lunar detail.
The moon moves about 12° east a day, so the dark window shifts roughly fifty minutes later each night. A Friday plan is not a Saturday plan.
