When is the best day, time, and month to view the sky throught a telescope?

Answer 1

Unless you want to look at the moon, you want a calm clear night with NO moon. So, a night with low humidity, no to little breeze (causes turbulance in the light you see), and you want it dark.. so no moon or near new moon. If it's too cold, there may be ice crystals in the air and that causes a halo around things.

The higher up in the atmosphere you can get the better.

If you want to see a certain thing, you have to wait till that thing is directly overhead to see it most clearly. That way you are looking through as little air as possible.

Answer 2

That depends on where in the world you are, and what you want to look at. In the Northern hemisphere, all other things being equal, I like a moderate to warm night in December. I still need a jacket, but as long as it is not unbearably cold,, the night starts early and there are no mosquitoes.

Answer 3

I will say any nights that is clear sky after rain.
