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: 10-31 (89), 10-14 (86), 10-15 (86), 10-30 (86), 10-13 (84) — by astronomy; check the weather when the night is within four days.
