Scope Nights Astronomy Weather has been on the Apple App Store for nearly two years now, but there is still no Astronomy Category for my app. So I have had to place it in the Weather Category which is very misleading as it’s primary purpose is an astronomy observing and planning aid and not just […]
The global forecast included with Scope Nights is one of the best medium-range forecasts available and originates from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). This enables Scope Nights to be used anywhere in the world, and is ideal as a general guide and for planning further ahead. But those who require more detailed forecasts may want […]
[app id=’1′] To test the waters I’ve made Scope Nights a FREE download for a limited time only (Offer ends Monday 20th Jan 2014). So this is a great chance to try it out. Advanced features are still available as paid upgrades as I still need to put food on the table, but you will […]
The Astronomer’s Weather Upgrade is designed for those who want more than just a basic stargazing forecast. It allows you to customise stargazing forecasts using night-time coverage and observing thresholds for moon, wind, humidity and temperature. It also includes medium range global forecasts up to 10-nights, clear period notifications and sharing of astronomy weather reports […]
I recently updated Scope Nights: Astronomy Weather Reports to version 2.0 because the iOS7 release by Apple included a massive user interface change, and for the app to be fully compliant with new Apple devices it had to undergo a lot of changes. User Interface changes take a lot of time for mobile app developers […]
Scope Nights requires a working Internet connection to download weather data. You can either let the app find your current location or choose another location anywhere in the world using the search screen. The Scope Nights screen shows forecast for each night’s stargazing conditions using a simple traffic light system. Green = Good weather conditions […]
Scope Nights is a unique astronomy weather app that uses a combination of national and global weather forecasts to compile detailed stargazing weather ratings up to 10 nights ahead for anywhere in the world. Many weather apps are unwieldy, over complicated and very generalised. Scope Nights was designed to be intuitive, quick, and easy, focusing […]
Scope Nights: Astronomy Weather Reports will be one year old in August 2013, so I thought I’d write a little bit about my experience in order to try and help new app developers and also to highlight the amount of work that goes into creating a mobile app. I started writing Scope Nights in Spring […]
Hi, I’m from a 2000 year old roman city called Chester situated just south of Liverpool, England. From an early age science, technology and multimedia have always been passions of mine… I bought my first astronomical telescope in 1980, a small 60mm refractor, and once I’d gazed upon Saturn as a tiny cosmic jewel in […]
