Cloud tracks show clear sky — a longer bar is better. The figure inside each track is the raw measurement.

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 21:30 · OBSERVE 22:00–03:00 · 5H · MEAN 70

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

CLOUD RETURNS 03:00
SET UP 21:30 · OBSERVE 22:00–05:00 · 7H · MEAN 71

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

TWILIGHT BEGINS 05:00MOONLIGHT IGNORED FOR THIS TARGET
SET UP 21:30 · OBSERVE 22:00–03:00 · 5H · MEAN 66

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

2200020406
CLOUD RETURNS 03:00
SET UP 21:30 · OBSERVE 22:00–03:00 · 5H · MEAN 58

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

2200020406
CLOUD RETURNS 03:00
SET UP 21:30 · OBSERVE 22:00–03:00 · 5H · MEAN 72

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