Clear sky chart
I noticed this on the clear sky chart at the bottom.
"Hey, this is cool. How do I make sure I keep getting it?
Just keep using it. I intend to keep updating this image for as long as CMC is willing to generate the underlying maps. But there are ways that you can help:
If you find this clear sky chart, or CMC maps linked by the colored blocks, useful please send Allan Rahill of the CMC an email (and feel free to copy me). Allan needs to show his boss that his astronomy forecasts are actually being used."
Allan.Rahill@ec.gc.ca
Just thought I'd let everyone know who didn't. I'd hate to lose the clear sky chart if they stop generating the CMC maps.

Absolutely. For those of us who have to travel to get to a dark site, it is indispensable. Originally Posted by StarScream Aging eyes

It's more accurate than the weather channel. Dark blue squares = no sleep tonight ..... I just wished it looked like that when I'm off work ....

I like that it's well tuned for Red/Green blindness. You don't see that often!
