Finding and using a good dark site.

Hello,

I thought I would ask what software/apps/sites people are using to help with locating a good dark site. Also the weather apps/sites etc you use in regards to weather forecasts - cloud/humidity/wind etc - accurate forecasts.

If you can post what you use over any of these sites or can think of other handy links please reply.


Thanks
Steve

I use:
Dark Sky Map:
Suggested: https://www.lightpollutionmap.info/#...FFFTFFFFFFFFFF
Includes altitude from DEM
https://www.darkskymap.com/nightSkyBrightness

Australian contour maps:
https://www.ga.gov.au/scientific-top...maps#heading-1


Wind-Particle-Humidity with Height :
https://earth.nullschool.net/#curren...37.391,-31.340

Google Maps for roads/trip distances

Astronomy Tools
http://clearoutside.com/forecast/-35.22/149.02
(though this is fairly average indicator of conditions I find - nice for moon rise/set and astro dark times etc)


Ps. Have to love earth.nullschool
