Moonlight, haze, seeing, and target altitude can all change the right answer. MySkyDome tells you whether to go, what to prioritize, and what to save for a better night.
Daily email briefing
Open one email. Know the plan.
Before you carry gear outside, the daily briefing tells you whether tonight is worth using and what kind of session the sky can actually support.
Get the verdict, best window, and recommended plan at the time you choose.
See whether tonight favors Moon, planets, bright targets, deep sky, or staying inside.
Open the full report when you want charts, target details, and the reasoning behind the recommendation.
Night planner · forecast
See why the plan changes through the night.
The forecast section translates weather into observing consequences: when the Moon hurts contrast, when transparency improves, and when the best usable window begins.
Tonight is shown first, with the next nights kept as context.
Cloud, seeing, transparency, wind, rain, Moon, and darkness are shown as observing conditions, not raw scores.
Seeing stays practical, for example 1.4″ · Good.
Night planner · tonight's targets
Shoot targets that fit tonight, not just the season.
MySkyDome matches targets to the usable part of the night, your focal length, altitude, Moon separation, and the forecast window.
Bright or Moon-tolerant targets are favored while the Moon is still a problem.
Fainter deep-sky targets move into the darker late-night window.
Wide, medium, and long focal-length groups help you pick a target that fits your setup.
Guides
Read the workflow behind better observing decisions.
Learn how to choose targets, read Go and No-Go alerts, and plan around the real night.
When the sky limits the session, the night is still useful.
If tonight is short, Moon-limited, or better for preparation than a full imaging run, the report gives you timely astronomy stories and videos worth your attention.
Spot events, discoveries, gear discussions, and observing ideas without opening five separate feeds.
Use cloudy or compromised hours to plan the next target, technique, or session.
Keep inspiration close to the same report that tells you what tonight can support.
Built with care
Built with care for people who love the night sky.
MySkyDome started with a simple goal: help astronomers and astrophotographers spend less time checking scattered forecasts, charts, and feeds, and more time planning meaningful nights under the sky.
The first version focuses on personalized daily planning: weather, sky conditions, target recommendations, and useful content in one clear report.
Next, we want deeper target planning, better equipment-aware recommendations, Moon and planetary tools, seasonal guides, observing history, and support for smart telescope owners.
Start your free trial and help shape what MySkyDome becomes with real feedback from real observing needs.
Built with observers
Tell us what would make your nights better.
We love what we do, and we build MySkyDome because we love spending nights imaging and observing too.
If there is a feature, chart, target-planning workflow, or forecast detail that would help you plan better,
we want to hear about it.
Each forecast email includes a feedback link, so you can tell us what would make MySkyDome more useful for your nights.
Create your observing site
Start with the place you actually observe from.
Search for your site, add your focal length, choose when the email should arrive, and MySkyDome will build each report around that exact timezone, site elevation, sky brightness, darkness window, Moon geometry, target altitude, and basic setup fit.
