🔭I loved CalSky🛰️the app to that tells you what you will see if you look up at the sky tonight. 🪐 I waited for someone to recreate it after it went offline but no-one did so I created it myself...💫

Claire-Obsure effect: How and when to look for Cauchy's interrupted western shadow on the Moon. This is a test post was generated automatically by SkyCalPro #Astromethods
1. Orion Taurus and the Pleiades about to disappear behind the clouds… accurate for the uk! 2. Neowise centre, Pleiades over to the right You’re welcome to use. Good luck with the talk!
Well done! Yes I really enjoy looking for Claire-Obscure too. Really adds a new fun dimension lunar observing. There are some objects already in skycalpro.com you activate per the screen shot 😊 I’m working on ‘Gruithuisen's Lunar City’ at the moment!
Lunar Claire Obscure effects are really hard to find if you don't know what to look for. I'm going to expand the database with more objects and add some infographic maps to help you identify them. Big task but one I can chip away at in my own time. Here's an example. 2/2
Hot fix just applied: Each year NASA update their lunar charts, but they give it an unpredictable URL. Every January I have to update SkyCalPro with the latest links so that the "download chart" option works. I only just did that 😔 Apologies for my tardiness. #Astronomy
I meant to share this in January, but, well things happen! Here's a list of enhancements added to SkyCalPro. A lot done. Perhaps there are some calculations in there you didn't realise?
And a world war 2 pill box and anti tank defences under one of the viaduct arches. Built in anticipation of nazi land invasion but never needed in the end.
New SkyCalPro Release! Added visual sky track for ISS Close Passes and Transits of Sun and Moon. Improved ISS events with more detailed data. Fixed an issue where some ISS transits were missed. Thanks Chris Becke @chrisbecke.bsky.social for helping with that! skycalpro.com #Astronomy
