Cloud tracks show clear sky — a longer bar is better. The figure inside each track is the raw measurement.

What are you doing tonight?

The same forecast, weighted for the target. Planetary work barely cares about moonlight; long exposures die on high cloud a visual observer would never notice.

SET UP 01:00 · OBSERVE 01:30–02:30 · 1H · MEAN 56

Darkness and moonlight dominate. Faint fuzzies need a genuinely dark sky more than they need steady air.

CLOUD BREAKS 01:30CLOUD RETURNS 02:30
SET UP 01:00 · OBSERVE 01:30–02:30 · 1H · MEAN 70

Seeing is everything and moonlight is irrelevant. Bright targets punch through twilight, so darkness barely counts.

CLOUD BREAKS 01:30CLOUD RETURNS 02:30MOONLIGHT IGNORED FOR THIS TARGET
SET UP 01:00 · OBSERVE 01:30–02:30 · 1H · MEAN 51

Tolerates soft seeing, but high cloud wrecks a wide frame and moonlight raises the background everywhere.

CLOUD BREAKS 01:30CLOUD RETURNS 02:30
SET UP 01:00 · OBSERVE 01:30–02:30 · 1H · MEAN 41

Needs conditions to hold still for hours. Sustained transparency matters more than any single good hour.

SET UP 01:00 · OBSERVE 01:30–02:30 · 1H · MEAN 58

Naked eye, whole sky. Total cloud and moonlight are the only things that count.

About this forecast

Conditions for Anand, India are computed from the MET Norway forecast model for these exact coordinates, combined with sun and moon positions we calculate directly. The score weighs cloud cover by layer, atmospheric transparency, estimated seeing, moonlight and how dark the sky actually gets. Read the full method →
