Telescopes and Summer Days


What to do with a telescope in the summer?
The nights are shorter, and the only decent time is in the "middle of the night".
Heading towards the "Longest Day", the time for decent observation is getting shorter and shorter.
The Sun spoils the view of the Moon and the stars.
