The Night
Winter’s giants stand high while the first spring constellations rise in the east. Orion, Monoceros, Gemini and Canis Major keep the bright nebulae and open clusters in the night. Then Cancer’s Beehive and the stars of Leo lead us into fresh sky beyond the familiar winter figures.
Ursa Major brings M81 and M82 into the galaxy story. On the later February and March dates, the Leo Triplet adds three neighboring galaxies to the imaging possibilities.

Winter’s giants. Spring’s first galaxies.
Winter’s Giants Lead the Way.
INTRO · FEBRUARY → MARCH
Meet the bright stars and nebulae of the winter sky, then follow Cancer and the northern galaxy fields toward spring.
A researched February–March sky tour for Hawaiʻi evenings. Select Play to begin; tap the sky to pause or resume. The waiting globe turns slowly and reduced-motion preferences keep it still. Constellation artwork gives way to named bright stars. Each object holds for five seconds on a stationary constellation map, marked only by a bullseye; its photograph, name, catalogue and short description appear below. Winter fields are best earlier as March advances. Leo joins from February 19, Mizar and Alcor from March 5, and Virgo is a late-evening preview from March 19. This is a guided sky atlas; the actual lineup depends on time, weather and horizon. Photographs show long-exposure detail.

Getting thereMeet us on the mountain.
Guests drive themselves to the observing site. We choose one of four mountain meeting locations based on the evening’s weather and viewing conditions, allowing us to put the group where the sky looks best that night. Because this is an outdoor mountain experience, the exact meeting point and observing plan may shift with the weather. Your confirmation email will include the final location, arrival time, directions, and any last-minute updates.
