What does this mean for your night?
Clear areas on the cloud map are promising windows for deep-sky imaging, Milky Way sessions or planetary observing. Combined with the Astro Score, the map helps you decide whether setup and travel are worthwhile.
Do not look only at the current frame. Follow the direction of travel as well: a broad, stable clearing is far more useful for long exposures than a brief gap.
