Western Odisha's rains last from mid-June into October and fill the Hirakud reservoir. Winter nights from November to February are dry and clear.
Debrigarh Wildlife Sanctuary, on the shore of the Hirakud reservoir, is forested and very dark.

The ISS is the brightest at magnitude -3 to -4, followed by China's Tiangong station, large Earth-observation satellites, spent rocket bodies and Starlink trains in the days after a launch. GPS and NavIC satellites orbit too high to see with the naked eye.
