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 23:30 · OBSERVE 00:00–01:00 · 1H · MEAN 72

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

HIGH CLOUD CLEARS 00:00CLOUD RETURNS 01:00
SET UP 22:30 · OBSERVE 23:00–04:00 · 5H · MEAN 53

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

CLOUD RETURNS 04:00MOONLIGHT IGNORED FOR THIS TARGET
SET UP 23:30 · OBSERVE 00:00–01:00 · 1H · MEAN 67

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

HIGH CLOUD CLEARS 00:00CLOUD RETURNS 01:00
SET UP 23:30 · OBSERVE 00:00–01:00 · 1H · MEAN 59

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

SET UP 23:30 · OBSERVE 00:00–01:00 · 1H · MEAN 76

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