Sky highlights

Quick guidance for your next night under the stars

Look for Saturn rising after dusk and the Summer Triangle clearing the eastern horizon.

Plan for 9:30–11:30 PM local time when skies are darker and lower haze improves contrast.

Choose nights near new moon for faint nebulae, and brighter phases for lunar crater detail.

Start with naked-eye patterns first, then use binoculars to confirm stars and orientation.
