Best Nights in March

Mar 6 – Mar 10

Around the New Moon (Mar 8), little moonlight — the best nights for the Milky Way, meteors and faint deep-sky objects.

Mar 15 · Mar 30

At the quarter Moons the terminator throws long shadows across crater rims — the best nights to photograph lunar surface detail.

Mar 21 – Mar 23

Around the Worm Moon (Mar 22), strong natural moonlight for night walks — but it washes out fainter stars.
