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 23:00 · OBSERVE 23:30–04:30 · 5H · MEAN 52

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

SET UP 23:00 · OBSERVE 23:30–04:30 · 5H · MEAN 58

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

HIGH CLOUD CLEARS 23:30CLOUD RETURNS 04:30MOONLIGHT IGNORED FOR THIS TARGET
SET UP 23:00 · OBSERVE 23:30–04:30 · 5H · MEAN 47

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

SET UP 23:00 · OBSERVE 23:30–02:30 · 3H · MEAN 40

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

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