A cancellation could happen because of weather conditions and in these cases corresponds a full refund of what you paid for the booking. If you are available to reschedule the tour, you will be able to do it without any problem, depending on the availability.
Is there any difference with the observation depending on the departure I take?
None. Only the position in which the bodies are at the time you take the tour. You will be able to see the same bodies and constellations, with the corresponding explanations of the guides.
