Rozhen Observation Calendar

Which nights are best for a target over the coming weeks. The astronomy mark (darkness × altitude × Moon) is computed for every night; the weather and the overall mark exist only where Open-Meteo has a forecast (the next four days) or ERA5 history (past nights) — the rest is honestly blank.

Best nights for Great Orion Nebula: 09-18 (41), 09-17 (39), 09-16 (37), 09-15 (36), 09-14 (35) — by astronomy; check the weather when the night is within four days.
