When the sky is darkest over Sethan

The week either side of the new moon, from October to March. In summer the monsoon brings cloud most nights from July to mid-September; in October it clears, the air is dry and cold, and the Milky Way stands straight up out of the valley by nine. Each dome page says when the moon rises tonight, so you can see for yourself before you book.
