I always miss meteor showers. I live in the city so I have to drive for about 30 minutes to see one BUT if the sky cover is over 10% covered it isn't worth it and the moon needs to be gone. I think I might try to figure out a way to let me know when the conditions of a meteor shower, the cloud cover are just right and the moon is not present in the sky and post to my Google Calendar.
Thanks for inspiring me.
- privong 12y agoI wonder if you could use the data from Clear Dark Sky[0] for taking care of the moon and cloud cover constraints. I'm not sure if the data which makes the charts (e.g., [1]) is accessible or not. [0] http://cleardarksky.com/ http://cleardarksky.com/ [1] http://cleardarksky.com/csk/ http://cleardarksky.com/csk/
- k-mcgrady 12y agoI'm not sure how much data the API offers but parent could also maybe get something from this source[0]. It's used by the Dark Sky iOS app and at least for rain I've found it unbelievably accurate. [0] https://developer.forecast.io https://developer.forecast.io
