On the meteogram there is sometimes a symbol which I don’t understand. It is a little circle with 4 spikes.

Are you referring to the symbols at the top of the column that correspond to the low points of the graph for predicted minimum cloud cover at that time.

[Geoff45]

Ah yes! That’s it. Pretty obvious once it’s pointed out.
Thanks

Yes CFN has had a recent upgrade
I asked myself the same question, what are those little Star shaped symbols ?
The penny dropped and realised stars mean no cloud
Clear tonight on the South Coast NSW so I’ll be powering up the NexDome

The Dark Sky and Cloud meteograms have been combined into a single meteogram. From the Help page: "Dark sky night hours are defined by total cloud cover < 20% and moon illumination < 50% (or no moon), and are displayed using star icons near the top of the graph and in the table"

Hi Martin

I'll be keen on hearing how you go!

CFN shows Sydney looks pretty good on the Map tab, but Meteogram looks a bit poor. Hope the south coast is better.

Good luck tonight, hope you get some shooting time in.
