Times are GYT, Guyana time (UTC-4, no daylight saving), on the 24-hour clock, for Georgetown.
Moon phase drives almost everything else for stargazing — a bright gibbous washes out faint targets; new Moon opens deep-sky windows.
Bright steady objects sitting next to the Moon are usually planets (Venus, Jupiter, Saturn) or first-magnitude stars on the Moon’s path. Use Dark Sky Window for moonless observing hours at your own location, and the eclipse viewers to simulate any lunar or solar eclipse with its contacts and a 3D disc.

The answer at the top of this page gives tonight’s phase, percent lit, moonrise and moonset in Guyana time, any planet or bright star passing close to the Moon this week, and the next eclipses seen from Guyana. Pair it with Dark Sky Window for when moonless dark hours open for deep-sky targets.
Most Moon pairings are planets — Venus, Jupiter, Mars, or Saturn — or first-magnitude stars like Antares, Spica, Aldebaran, or Regulus. Check Planet Visibility for bearings.
Use Dark Sky Window for moonless stretches after astronomical dusk. Around full Moon, deep-sky work is limited; planets and bright clusters still work.
