Atmospheric Conditions
The local conditions that decide whether an observing night happens — weather, atmospheric seeing, sky transparency, cloud cover, and Bortle sky brightness. No licence-safe open provider is connected; the interfaces are defined and await one, and no condition is ever fabricated.

What it provides
- Weather forecast
- Atmospheric seeing
- Sky transparency
- Cloud cover
- Bortle sky brightness
Limitations
No licence-safe open provider is connected for weather, seeing, transparency, cloud cover, or Bortle sky brightness. The interfaces are defined (see the observing suite's data integrations) and await a provider; no observing condition is ever assumed or fabricated.
