Night 2 · 12 December · Campo La Salina
The sky is dark and moonless from 20:50 to 06:00, after the Moon sets. That is the best time for stargazing that night.
Night 3 · 13 December · El Pinacate
The sky is dark and moonless from 21:45 to 06:00, after the Moon sets. That is the best time for stargazing that night.
Sonora time (UTC−7), calculated for the El Pinacate area; on the coast it may vary by a few minutes. Full darkness is when the Sun is more than 18° below the horizon and no longer brightens the sky. Temperatures: historical average for those dates at the Bahía de Kino, 1991–2012; Puerto Peñasco, 1991–2026; Organ Pipe Cactus, Arizona, 1991–2026 weather station (NOAA); not a forecast, and in the open desert the small hours can be a few degrees colder. Check the forecast a few days before you leave.
