Date North Constellation 1 Constellation 2 Notes Rob's
Recommendations Considering the other half of the world:
January 10-19, 2026 Perseus Orion Perseus is better for farther north latitudes but Orion is more recognizable...probably good to keep as is.
February 9-18, 2026 Orion Perseus Encompasses Valentine's Day! Orion is pretty low for the far north so might have Persues #2.
March 10-19, 2026 Orion Leo End of campaign almost near equinox Leo is better from far north
April 9-18, 2026 Leo NOTE: Dark Sky Week is 13-20 April, 2026 Leo is good
May 8-17, 2026 Leo Bootes International Day of Light on May 16 (usually) never get astronomical twilight in the far north starting in May Both are good options
June 6-15, 2026 Bootes Bootes is good
July 6-15, 2026 Hercules Hercules is good
August 4-13, 2026 Cygnus Hercules Both are good options
September 2-11, 2026 Cygnus Cygnus is good
October 2-11, 2026 Cygnus Pegasus Both are good, Cygnus is better for far north
November 1-10, 2026 Cygnus Pegasus Does Oct 31 look good? Could use Halloween holiday. Both look good

December 29, 2026 - January 7, 2027 Encompasses New Years Eve! Add? I suggest not adding that to this year, but making it hte first campaign of 2027
