A useful thing to know

Low Kp?
Still look up.

Here in the far north, a low planetary activity number is not a reason to write off the night. Local sky conditions and what you can actually see matter.

Give your eyes time to adjust. Look north, then overhead. A faint arc can be the start of something beautiful.
