Sky planning, reminders & app

Sky planning computes the Moon and darkness for your date and adds the cloud forecast for tonight; later dates are scored on the Moon and darkness. Times show in the venue’s time zone when Stella can resolve it, otherwise in yours, and are always labelled; confirm official session times with the venue. Telescope targets depend on conditions and the operator.
