Tonight in Bodrum
A bright-moon night.
Properly dark 19:44–06:03 · 10h 19m
waning gibbous · 91% lit · No moon-free darkness — the Moon is up all night
How we’d play it
With the Moon this bright, we point at the Moon itself, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter — crisp, high-contrast targets that shine through the moonlight. Faint galaxies can wait for a darker night.
