These dates are marked on most wall calendars, and also on the SkyMaps referred to above. The best times to view the moon are a few days before and after First and Last Quarter. These are images created by the Astronomical League of the First Quarter Moon (above the horizon roughly noon through midnight) and Last Quarter Moon (above the horizon roughly midnight through noon). You should be able to see all of the naked eye and binocular objects with the StarBlast, as well as many of the telescope objects.

The second page lists celestial objects that can be seen during that month sorted by how best to view them: naked eye, binoculars, telescope. To the left of the map is a list of information about solar system objects (such as the phase of the moon). It shows the constellations, location of planets and major sky objects. This is a map for the current month’s sky. When you check out the telescope, you will receive the following documents.Ĭlick on the links if you would like to look them over ahead of time. * You will need to use red light to look at books and star maps when you are looking for objects in the dark so that your eyes don’t lose their dark adaptation.
