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 23:00–03:00 · 4H · MEAN 69

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

ASTRONOMICAL DARK FROM 23:00CLOUD RETURNS 03:00
SET UP 21:30 · OBSERVE 22:00–03:00 · 5H · MEAN 71

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

CLOUD RETURNS 03:00MOONLIGHT IGNORED FOR THIS TARGET
SET UP 22:30 · OBSERVE 23:00–03:00 · 4H · MEAN 63

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

ASTRONOMICAL DARK FROM 23:00CLOUD RETURNS 03:00
SET UP 23:30 · OBSERVE 00:00–03:00 · 3H · MEAN 62

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

SET UP 22:30 · OBSERVE 23:00–03:00 · 4H · MEAN 67

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