I am thinking the week before might suit me better.
Still considering options.
From experience, better to plan pre new moon, so that if weather is bad, then you still have post new moon to fall back on.

But a trend I have noticed is that Visual observers seem to prefer PRE New Moon
while
Imagers seem to prefer POST New Moon.
(I guess that is because they can "set and forget")

FYI Moonrise from next Monday (11/5) is not until near midnight (then 40mins later each night)
