ClearSkies... What's that?

As CoreTeam members we have to trust our weather forecasts. So if it's clouded over where you are, it won't be where HantsAstro is. It's rarely a wasted trip so keep checking here and our simple traffic light for each active observing site.

This is how it works:

GREEN for Go! Turn up, set up and observe, enjoy, go home...
AMBER means await confirmation by e-mail on the night (if you've signed up of course!) as it's changeable weather.
RED e-mail confirmation for a cosy night in with a hot toddy and a browse though Look Up! our free e-Zine.

We mash up some data and use some local knowledge and now have something that is almost to the hour accurate on the day, and 95% within 7 days of our observing sessions. Not bad? Well, it works for us but we always like to go one better.
