    Aurora Season Sky-Brightness Notes

    December 10, 2025 admin

    Our northern nodes lost several nights this season to aurora-driven sky brightness. We’ve started logging these events explicitly in the shared schedule so deep-sky targets can be swapped for brighter objects on affected nights instead of wasting the session entirely.

    It’s a small process change, but it turned what used to be a handful of fully lost nights into partially productive ones.

    Clear skies help

    Own a telescope? We can use the clear nights.

    Apogee is free to join for any observer with a documented setup. We provide the scheduling software and target list — you provide the sky.
