You might also like to check when it’ll be a full moon, as these can be really big and bright! It’s a good idea to check phases of the moon (that is, when it’s full and round and when it’s a narrower crescent shape) in advance to see when it’ll be brightest. These might be good times to avoid if you want to see lots of constellations (the name given to stars that form patterns and shapes in the sky, such as the Plough and the Hunter). The sight of a full moon is also pretty impressive – it’ll just make it much harder to pick out the stars in the brightened sky.
