The Night Sky over Nevada
Every dark-sky place the Nevada edition sends you to, and every meteor shower it tracks through the year:
- Public land beyond the Las Vegas light dome
- Public land beyond the Reno-Sparks light dome
- The rural basin-and-range interior of central and eastern Nevada
- Nevada's state park system
- Quadrantids
- Lyrids
- Eta Aquariids
- Southern Delta Aquariids
- Perseids
- Draconids
- Orionids
- Southern Taurids
- Northern Taurids
- Leonids

How the Nevada year breaks down
Counted, not claimed
Across the twelve Nevada month pages the reference side draws on 6 wildflowers, 6 trees, 6 butterflies and 7 things coming into season locally.
Something in the Nevada list is in bloom from March through October, and June is the peak — 25 of the 36 species are flowering then.
8 of them are caterpillar host plants and 6 support specialist bees — the ones that do the most work in Nevada yards.
On the 2027 numbers the standout for Nevada is the Quadrantids — about 120 an hour at its peak with the moon only 18% lit, best after midnight into dawn.
The Geminids, by contrast, peak against a 100%-lit moon that year — the kind of night the guide tells you to skip rather than let you find out at 2am.
The calendar runs every major shower of the year — 12 of them — with the moon's brightness worked out for each peak, so Nevada knows which nights are worth the drive.

The set, or the pieces
Both are honest ways to buy the Nevada editions
| One at a time | The Nevada Set | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Whichever single Nevada edition you pick | All three, together |
| Checkouts | One for each — there is no cart here | One, for the whole Nevada set |
| What it costs | $33.98 for the three apart | $29.00, saving $4.98 |
| If you only want one | Buy it on its own; every Nevada edition is sold separately | The set is only worth it if all of it is new to you |
Before you buy
Who this is for
Made for
- Someone starting from nothing who wants the Nevada basics in one go
- Gardeners in Nevada who also go out after dark
- Anyone giving the whole Nevada set rather than a single file
Not for
- Anyone who already owns one of the three Nevada editions in it — buy the rest singly instead
- Anyone who wants the Nevada Nature Year; that is the bigger book, sold on its own page
Everything here describes typical timing across Nevada, drawn from long-run records — weather, elevation and how close you are to water all move the real dates around. So the Nevada pages say "usually early May" and never "May 4th", which is not hedging but the most the data can honestly carry.
Questions
Before you decide
What exactly is in the Nevada set?
Three things, sold separately elsewhere on the site: The Nevada Nature Journal, Native Plants of Nevada and The Night Sky over Nevada. You get every file each of them contains.
What if I already own one of these Nevada editions?
Then buy the others on their own — the Nevada set only saves money if all of it is new to you, and we would rather say so than take $29.00 for a file you already have.
Is this cheaper than buying the Nevada editions one at a time?
Yes — $29.00 rather than $33.98, a saving of $4.98. There is no cart here, so buying them apart also means checking out 3 separate times.
Do the Nevada files arrive together?
They arrive as one download list on one page — 3 files in all for Nevada, each downloadable on its own, and the link re-opens for 72 hours.
How accurate is the timing for Nevada?
It describes typical timing across Nevada drawn from long-run records, and because weather, elevation and habitat move real Nevada dates around it says "usually early May" rather than "May 4th".
Is it worth paying when the Nevada pages here are free?
The free Nevada pages are the month you are in; these are the Nevada editions around them — planned before the year arrives, and printable, so you are not holding a screen in the garden.
Will it work for my part of Nevada, or just the big cities?
It is written at state resolution — Nevada as a whole, with regional notes where Nevada genuinely differs end to end, and nothing behind it is recorded finely enough to honestly promise more than that.
What format is the Nevada edition, and can I print it?
A PDF laid out for both Letter and A4, one page per sheet — printing it is the point, since the Nevada pages are made to be carried outside.
What if the Nevada set is not what I expected?
Email hello@birchcompass.com within 30 days for a full refund on the Nevada edition, and keep the files either way — asking for them back would be theatre.
Everything in this set is also sold on its own — The Nevada Nature Journal, Native Plants of Nevada and The Night Sky over Nevada — and the free Nevada pages cover this month either way.
