Astrophotographers comparing telescope and camera setups
Worth noticing
Forecasts cover 9 p.m.–3 a.m. local time; a stated jet-stream rule of thumb maps wind bands to seeing estimates.

Field notes

The displayed model derives angular scale from pixel size and focal length, then combines several blur terms before converting the result to HFR in pixels. Location forecasts use a stated jet-stream wind rule of thumb, and the page notes that 7Timer!'s seeing scale cannot separate average from poor conditions above 2.5 arcseconds. Users can export or restore equipment lists as JSON.
