Tonight's limiting factor
Why thin high cloud ruins long exposures

Cirrus you can barely see will halo your bright stars, lift your background and vary between frames. Visual observers shrug it off. Long exposures integrate it, so it accumulates.

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 00:30 · OBSERVE 01:00–06:00 · 5H · MEAN 43

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

HIGH CLOUD CLEARS 01:00TWILIGHT BEGINS 06:00
SET UP 23:30 · OBSERVE 00:00–06:00 · 6H · MEAN 51

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

TWILIGHT BEGINS 06:00MOONLIGHT IGNORED FOR THIS TARGET
SET UP 03:30 · OBSERVE 04:00–06:00 · 2H · MEAN 42

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

TWILIGHT BEGINS 06:00
NO USABLE WINDOW FOR THIS TARGET TONIGHT

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

CONDITIONS STAY BELOW THE USABLE THRESHOLD
SET UP 00:30 · OBSERVE 01:00–06:00 · 5H · MEAN 42

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