Light pollution

Approximate

Default site estimate: urban/suburban sky, approximately Bortle 6–7. Treat this as a guide rather than a live measurement; local LED lighting and haze can make the sky brighter.

Jet stream

External map

Strong upper-level winds often mean poor planetary seeing. This first version links out to a live jet-stream chart rather than trying to reproduce the full map locally.
