Future Dates

Why do we pick dates in late September through October?

First off, the spring weather in Georgia is subject to numerous thunderstorms. There is also the problem of avoiding Easter. It is also fun, in some years, to have massive clouds of Pine pollen sticking to everything.

The fall weather in Georgia will normally be free of the summer's high humidity. It is at the tail end of the huricane season (which could also have a bad weather impact). The average rainfall is lower and it is normally not into the cold and damp of the winter months.

The winter months may have better viewing, but the cold and damp can be a big deterent.

The dates are picked from weather summaries and previous years weather reports and of course, near a new moon.

2024 September 29 - October 6 - New Moon on Wednesday October 02
