Milky Way season & the Moon for Havana
The Moon is nearly out of the way — dark skies for faint objects.
The Milky Way is faint and easily lost to light pollution and moonlight. Even when the core is high, you need a genuinely dark sky — well away from city lights — and ideally a night near the new Moon to see it well from Havana.
