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 43

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

CLOUD RETURNS 00:00
SET UP 22:30 · OBSERVE 23:00–00:00 · 1H · MEAN 47

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

23010305
CLOUD RETURNS 00:00MOONLIGHT IGNORED FOR THIS TARGET
SET UP 22:30 · OBSERVE 23:00–00:00 · 1H · MEAN 35

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

CLOUD RETURNS 00:00
NO USABLE WINDOW FOR THIS TARGET TONIGHT

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

23010305
CONDITIONS STAY BELOW THE USABLE THRESHOLD
SET UP 22:30 · OBSERVE 23:00–00:00 · 1H · MEAN 41

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