Bortle Sky-Brightness Integration

An architecture-ready interface for light-pollution and Bortle-class sky-brightness data by location — which sets how faint an object a site can reach. Wired into the deep-sky planner; a site's darkness is reported only from a connected light-pollution source.

Architecture-ready

This integration's interface is defined and wired into the planners, but it awaits a connected external provider. Until one is connected, no value is shown — nothing is assumed or fabricated.

Highlights

  • Light pollution — provider-fed only

Knowledge connections
