Next dark window
10 Oct – 21 Oct

12 nights in a row meeting 2 h with the moon below the horizon. 21 qualify across the 30.

Full moon
25 Oct

The usable moonless stretch collapses to nothing around it. A good week for planets, doubles and lunar detail.

Drift
+50 min / night

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.
