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 00:00–05:00 · 5H · MEAN 42

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

2123010305
TWILIGHT BEGINS 05:00
SET UP 23:30 · OBSERVE 00:00–06:00 · 6H · MEAN 50

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

2123010305
CLOUD RETURNS 06:00MOONLIGHT IGNORED FOR THIS TARGET
SET UP 00:30 · OBSERVE 01:00–02:00 · 1H · MEAN 49

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

HIGH CLOUD CLEARS 01:00CLOUD RETURNS 02:00
SET UP 00:30 · OBSERVE 01:00–02:00 · 1H · MEAN 38

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

HIGH CLOUD CLEARS 01:00CLOUD RETURNS 02:00
SET UP 23:30 · OBSERVE 00:00–06:00 · 6H · MEAN 39

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