About the work

A closer look.

Send me one date and one place. You get a short, plain-language sky record for that night: when the moon rose and set and how bright it was, which planets were up and where to look, and how the clouds actually behaved hour by hour from real weather-station observations near you. It ends with a one-line verdict: worth planning around or not, and the weak edge if the call is close. I have scored 46 nights against the New York City station record, misses included, in public. The checking is the point: I tell you when I was wrong as readily as when I was right. Good for a stargazing night you are hosting, a night photo shoot, a full-moon date, or a night you want to remember properly.
