Taking schnauzers for their special walks is a round the clock operation. Some of these occur first thing in the morning. This time of year, first thing in the morning is about an hour and a half before sunrise, or about 5:45 am local time.
You can get a 'sneak peak' of the upcoming season's night sky by going out later in the evening. Or, in this case early in the morning. In the winter time, the night is long enough that you can get peek at the night sky for several months in advance. So when I went out this morning at 5:45, the morning sky looked like it would at around 11:45 pm cdt four months from now.
In the summer time, your sneak peak in the morning isn't as far ahead, as the night time isn't as long.
You can use this to your advantage in the fall, as you can get a preview of the winter sky while observing in warmer weather clothes and without the risk of snow.
Happy observing!
