Did You Know?

The synodic month (new moon to new moon) is 29.53 daysโ€”longer than the orbital period because Earth moves around the Sun.

In Bortle Class 1 skies, the naked eye can see stars down to magnitude ~6. A 100mm telescope reaches ~12.7 mag.

A full moon can reduce your limiting magnitude by ~2, washing out fainter stars. Best observing: new moon + dark sky.
