⚠️ Logistics Watch Outs
Poor Stargazing Visibility
May 1-3, Nightly
With the moon at 96-100% illumination, focus on moon-viewing rather than deep-sky stargazing as only the brightest objects will be visible.
Enjoy the clear Saturday window before Sunday's light rains move in. Have a safe and high-signal weekend.
