While the star-studded skies of Almost Heaven are stunning 365 days out of the year, certain times within the phases of the moon allow for better dark sky photography. The moon can create too much light and overpower the sparkling stars, so four days before or after a new moon is considered to be the best time to get a starry shot. Hoping to capture the moon in your photo? During a full moon, dusk is the best time to nail your shot.
