Atlantic/CanaryHow the score works
60% weight
Cloud cover
Layer-weighted across the best 2-hour window of the night. Low clouds block everything, thin high cirrus still lets bright stars through.
40% weight
Moon darkness
A new moon boosts the score. A full moon near midnight washes out all but the brightest stars. We ease the penalty after midnight when the moon is setting.
