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 00:00 · OBSERVE 00:30–01:30 · 1H · MEAN 52

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

CLOUD BREAKS 00:30CLOUD RETURNS 01:30
SET UP 22:00 · OBSERVE 22:30–03:30 · 5H · MEAN 42

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

HIGH CLOUD CLEARS 22:30CLOUD RETURNS 03:30MOONLIGHT IGNORED FOR THIS TARGET
SET UP 00:00 · OBSERVE 00:30–01:30 · 1H · MEAN 47

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

CLOUD BREAKS 00:30CLOUD RETURNS 01:30
SET UP 00:00 · OBSERVE 00:30–01:30 · 1H · MEAN 36

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

SET UP 00:00 · OBSERVE 00:30–01:30 · 1H · MEAN 53

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