You mean the ability to save locations in a "favorite" list? That's interesting. Will look into this when implementing login and user profiles.

Unfortunately there is no way at this stage to have a seeing index. The next best thing is blinking the wind and jetstream maps. That's how the map overlays came to be. You can view both in one screen. Until we have something better that's all we can do.

CFN is easier to type than Cloud Free Night.

We don't keep any history of past data. We currently have limited resources and have to be smart about it. We generate over 4GB of images every 24h. It is a lot of processing and the server is idle maybe 5% of the time each day. And that's not counting any users browsing the site. So maybe in future if we have room to expand and more funds.

THANK YOU cfn. You’re doing a great service to the astronomy community.

Desktop PCs are the easy part to develop for but we'll never leave anybody behind whatever device they use to access CFN.
