Hi Gary. That weekend is a few days after first quarter moon. May not be the most ideal weekend for stargazing (compared to a new moon night). Having said that, if the site is clear and dark on that weekend, after the Moon sets, there may still be a few good observing hours left before sunrise. Also, november is a bit near to the year end monsoon period.

The deepavali holiday on 26 october looks interesting as it is a new moon day. If you guys can afford to take leave 2 days before or after 26, then that super duper long weekend might have a good chance of catching at least one clear night with Moon mostly out of the way.

Else, can also consider Carole's damai resort trip on 28 - 30 oct.
