Observing@ INTECH - April 2010, Wot? With a laptop?

HantsAstro ClearSkies Report - 03 May 2010 16.30hrs

INTECH 04 May 2010


This will be interesting. All weather reports give no real pointer, only clue is temperature. 1C.
Our guess is that means the cloud should be lower than forecast, but will still be about, so Binoculars and small refractors at the ready to whizz around the night sky...

May the 5th is going to be reasonable we think! See you there. Text 07702 747385 if you are going.
Registered members only please.

Wrap up warm. But if it gets too bad we're off down the pub early!

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.
