Tonight's limiting factor
Conditions for planets and the Moon

Seeing is everything. Darkness and moonlight barely matter, and a hazy, humid night that ruins deep-sky work is often the steadiest night of the year for planetary detail.

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 23:00 · OBSERVE 23:30–04:30 · 5H · MEAN 49

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

TWILIGHT BEGINS 04:30
SET UP 23:00 · OBSERVE 23:30–05:30 · 6H · MEAN 61

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

TWILIGHT BEGINS 05:30MOONLIGHT IGNORED FOR THIS TARGET
SET UP 23:00 · OBSERVE 23:30–04:30 · 5H · MEAN 45

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

23010305
TWILIGHT BEGINS 04:30
SET UP 01:00 · OBSERVE 01:30–04:30 · 3H · MEAN 36

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

SET UP 23:00 · OBSERVE 23:30–04:30 · 5H · MEAN 50

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