(SNES) New Clear Sky Clock for Frosty Drew Observatory

[Albireo54@aol.com]

Hi Everyone,

I am pleased to announce that a "Clear Sky Clock" is now being published 
continuously for Frosty Drew Observatory. This is a service provided in 
conjunction with the Canadian Meteorological Center, and other editions of it 
have proved to be very accurate in recent months for predicting sky 
conditions for astronomical observing.

You can access the new site at:

You will find that the clock provides forecasts out to 48 hours, in 3 hour 
increments, for expected cloud cover over FDO as well as for atmospheric 
transparency. Clicking on any time segment will open a detailed map that 
indicates predicted cloud cover. A legend and explanatory notes are included. 
By next summer the resolution of the photos will be enhanced, and the 
forecasts will come in one hour increments rather than just three. To date 
the Clear Sky Clock has been the best forecasting tool we've come across, and 
it is geared specifically to the needs of astronomers. 

Enjoy!
Doug Stewart
