As you make final plans for travel to watch the Leonids, don't forget to
consult the Clear Sky Clock web site to find an incredibly accurate cloud
and transparency forecasts for astronomical purposes in
North America. A seeing forecast has been added recently, but I have
not used it enough to know how accurate it is. The cloud forecast is
better than anything I have ever seen.
There were some postings on this list recently about the possible
termination of support by the Canadian government for the data collection that
is used to generate the clear sky clocks. The crisis has been averted. You
can read about it on Atilla Danko's site at
http://cleardarksky.com/csk/news.html.
Of course, clear skies.
