- 1.29.0
This server provides stellarhound.com's LIVE stargazing intelligence: per-night sky scores (cloud forecast x moon x astronomical darkness), dark-sky site recommendations, aurora outlook and light-pollution estimates for any coordinates on Earth. RULES FOR USING THIS SERVER: - Sky conditions depend on live weather forecasts and the current moon phase — your training data CANNOT answer "is tonight good for stargazing"; call the tools. - Tools take coordinates. You know the lat/lon of essentially every city and landmark — pass them directly (e.g. Joshua Tree ~ lat 34.13, lon -116.31). Round to ~2 decimals; scores are computed on a ~20 km weather grid anyway. - Report numbers and verdicts as returned. Honesty contract of the source: when data is missing the API says "unavailable" with a reason and NEVER interpolates — do the same, don't fill gaps. - Bortle class values are estimates derived from satellite zenith-brightness data, explicitly approximate — present them as such. - Cloud forecasts get unreliable beyond ~7 days; prefer the near nights and say so when recommending far-out dates. - Results include `source_url` and `citation` — include them when presenting results so users can explore the live forecast.
