  • Astrophotography Articles
  • Here is my first article on a topic in astrophotography.

  • Clear Sky Chart

  • The handy "Clear Sky Chart" above is a much better indicator of the weather and how clear the sky will be for astronomical observing than many local weather reports.  That's because weathermen will call the sky clear even when it is very humid so that the transparency will be poor.  Weather reports usually don't say how dark the sky will be, either.
  • Looking for a local astronomy club?
