There will be good darkness from 3:40am to 5:40am. Viewing Impacts: During the 9-hour, 50 minute viewing hours (8:10pm to 6:00am), cloud cover will be 31% to 55% (41% average) with poor transparency and average seeing. Viewing Temp: Excellent Bright moonlight will impact viewing and especially imaging from 8pm to 1am. Expectations: During sporadic breaks in the clouds, you can expect poor observations of galaxies, nebulae, open clusters, and planetary nebulae, mostly poor to fair observations of planets, and good observations of large globulars. Stars will be mostly very diffused to somewhat sharp. The best directions for imaging/viewing opportunities will be to the N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, WSW, W, WNW, NW, and NNW. Capture Time Rating: Good. 58.7% of the viewing hours, or 5 hours and 46 minutes are available for capture/viewing. #Astronomy #Space #NASA #Weather #WaynesboroPA #PAwx
