Hi Lester
Once you select your region - Australia followed by South Australia - I believe the default map display is for 'total cloud'. You can select other weather parameter options from the menu above the map, which include: low, mid and upper level cloud, Seeing, Transparency, Dewing Risk, Wind Speed, Temperature, Jetstream, Pressure(MSL), and WBGT.
You can also select +6, +9, +12, +15hrs, etc.. to view weather parameter conditions up to +120 hrs. You will see the local time in the map.
I find Skippysky quite reliable and is based on US global data that Andrew cool has visualized. But read his disclaimer. You will see that from midnight tonight through the morning (+15 - +24) there is apparently good seeing (total cloud) and somewhat favorable jetstream - interesting to see if this will be the case. But this is for Adelaide and I know you are over on EP.
Andrew is an ASSA member and I undersand that he monitors and updates skippysky several times a day but he did send round a recent e-mail mesage to ASSA members informing us that skippysky will be unattended until Saturday night as he will be away.
Sorry this is off your original topic, but hope this helps.
I have been following your posts here and on other forums - you are doing very well with the DFK21 Lester. Impressive results. Well done.
Cheers
