What you can expect overhead at Himeji Hoshinoko Yakata through the year — Moon phases and eclipses are exact dates; the Milky Way and aurora are seasonal likelihoods. Pick a month to plan around it.
New Moon on Aug 12 — the best window for the Milky Way and faint objects.
The galactic core is high overhead and well placed here.
Peaks around Aug 12, up to ~100/hr. The summer classic — bright, fast, and reliable.
