Finally a Clear (mostly) Night ?


 

So, in REALITY, it's currently 60% clear at 8:47 pm.   Astrospheric coincides with the CSC.   They also both predict above average seeing from 1 am onward.

My completely non-scientific eyeball look at the stars seem to indicate better than average seeing currently.

Weather dot com wins for cloud cover.

I'm going to start imaging at 10 pm-ish.   We'll see if the seeing predictions are even close.

 


 Hm...


[Next day:  The seeing was best around 10:30 pm which (definitely above average) but I didn't do any serious imaging until 11:30 when things started to worsen.   Light clouds rolled in occasionally to obscure Saturn and Jupiter but overall, it was average+.  CSC and Astrospheric were plain wrong.   I noticed that Astrospheric did update its info a little bit, upgrading from below average to average.   But both CSC and Astrospheric kept indicating there were cloudy to mostly cloudy conditions when it was obviously mostly clear to clear conditions.]
