From the observing field
Celestial events worth watching, and the objects I hope to photograph next. Observing plans can change with weather, moonlight, and the conditions in the field.
Skywatching dates and space milestones worth following.

Watch after the Moon sets on the night of November 17 into the morning of November 18. NASA estimates up to about 15 meteors per hour under ideal conditions; actual views depend on your sky.
NASA observing guide ↗· SPACE MILESTONE
NASA expects Voyager 1 to reach a distance of one light-day from Earth. A signal traveling at the speed of light would take 24 hours to reach the spacecraft, and another 24 hours for a response to return. It will be the first human-made object to travel this far from home.
