Dom King’s one-question sky
Manchester software engineer Dom King’s portfolio features AstroTool, a free guide that turns local conditions and astronomy data into a plan for the night.
- For
- beginner stargazers planning an observing night
- Worth noticing
- The AstroScore weighs cloud, moon, dark hours, humidity and wind, then gives a plain-language reason.
Field notes
The portfolio groups four products by status: AstroTool and KingFit are marked live, SaveKing is in private beta, and Spatium is in development. AstroTool’s scoring combines five listed conditions—cloud, moon, dark hours, humidity, and wind—and supports four kit levels. The page also says denied location does not trigger substitute-city forecasts or dummy stars, and mentions Raspberry Pi capture and remote-control work as an extension of the astronomy project.
