June 2009 Dark Sky Observing Time

The dark sky table shows the Pacific Daylight Saving Time (PDT) times for sunset, astronomical twilight ends, astronomical twilight starts, sunrise, moonrise, moonset and total moon-free, twilight-free viewing time for Portland, Oregon, U.S.A. (Longitude: West 122.68 degrees & Latitude: North 45.52 degrees). Moon-free, twilight-free viewing time is the best time to observer deep sky objects because the moon light and twilight will not interfere with observing these faint objects.

         ##:##SR = Sun Rise   ##:##TS = Twilight Starts  ##:##MS = Moonset
