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 22:30 · OBSERVE 23:00–00:00 · 1H · MEAN 44

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

CLOUD RETURNS 00:00
SET UP 21:30 · OBSERVE 22:00–00:00 · 2H · MEAN 62

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

HIGH CLOUD CLEARS 22:00CLOUD RETURNS 00:00MOONLIGHT IGNORED FOR THIS TARGET
SET UP 22:30 · OBSERVE 23:00–00:00 · 1H · MEAN 45

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

CLOUD RETURNS 00:00
SET UP 22:30 · OBSERVE 23:00–00:00 · 1H · MEAN 37

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

CLOUD RETURNS 00:00
SET UP 22:30 · OBSERVE 23:00–00:00 · 1H · MEAN 46

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

About this forecast

Conditions for Igra, Russia 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 →
