Layer guidance

Recommended sequence for planning

  • Start with Stargazing score to identify strongest states.
  • Switch to Cloud cover for timing sensitivity.
  • Check Moon and Darkness before final travel decisions.

What to confirm before driving

State colors are broad planning signals

  • Confirm the selected location still has low cloud risk during your window.
  • Check moon interference and local darkness before committing to travel.
  • Use location pages for access context, not state color alone.
