At full moon the Sun, Earth and Moon are nearly aligned, so the lunar disc appears fully lit. Bright moonlight washes out faint deep-sky objects, but lunar surface detail near the limb and bright planets remain excellent targets.

Photography & observing tips
- •Check the local weather forecast a few hours ahead; thin high cloud ruins more sessions than rain.
- •Get away from direct lights, even if you cannot leave town — a shadowed spot helps enormously.
- •Red torchlight preserves the dark adaptation you spent 20 minutes building.
