DARKSKY (Moonday 1-5, 17-0) STUDIES BASED ON RA CULMINATION AND ASCENDING MIDDLE THIRD OF SKY

NOTE: On average it would be excellent to have 2 darksky studies each day for a total 20 over every 10 day period. This would allow us to frontload some around the time of the full moon for three. However the best i could do on first pass was a total of 323 studies. This is one maybe per darksky day with issues related to distributions (some 10 day periods have 34 others 4). Ah well I'll keep trying to scrounge more up using Tirions while up north but only for the periods short on studies... Sure would be nice to say "365 deepsky studies - one for each night of the year."
