Trevor, I've found Skippysky to be inacurate most of the time for me as far as seeing goes. I also use it for cloud predictions. I now use it as a guideline only. If we want true predictions of this nature, we need the Canadian based Clear Sky Clock system here.

I might get excited if Skippysky predicts 10/10 seeing, as that way it's *almost* a guarantee of it actually being 7.5+ as I've found it to be at least that far out in seeing predictions on average. Not a slam towards Skippysky here, but one needs to work out that one can't take its predictions as 'gospel' & just use it as a guide only.
