Description
Xasteria helps you decide if tonight is worth observing. It brings together astronomical weather forecasts, sky conditions and observing tools in one ad-free app, built around the 7Timer ASTRO forecast.
Configurable forecast sources:
• 7Timer / GFS, worldwide coverage, ~20km resolution:
· Cloud cover (with layer breakdown)
· Astronomical seeing
· Atmospheric transparency
· Temperature and humidity
· Rain / snow
· Atmospheric instability
· Wind speed and direction
• MET Norway, based on the ECMWF model, particularly useful in regions with significant terrain variation
Sun/moon details:
• Sun / Moon rise, set and twilight times.
• Moon phase and elevation.
Tools:
• Aurora forecast, with worldwide and local data/maps.
• ISS and satellite passes for your location.
• Light pollution report and map for your observing site.
• Quick access to Clear Outside, Meteoblue, Windy, Astrospheric, Sat24, water vapor satellite imagery and more.
Display
Three display modes: 7Timer icon/graphic view, color-stripe view, or raw text. The left panel can be switched to icons, and summary icons and cloud layers are configurable in settings.
This app will always be ad-free, with no in-app popups asking for reviews. If you would like to support it and the 7Timer service, Xasteria Plus adds an Apple Watch app, Home Screen widgets, OpenWeather real-time forecasts, Apple Weather, night vision mode, lunar calendar, solar eclipse tools and more.
A quick rating or review on the App Store is always appreciated. For suggestions or feedback:

Application indispensable pour préparer une soirée observation astronomique.
Très bien
La meilleure appli de prévision météo pour lobservation astronomique.
Great App
This app is perfect for astrophotographers to check visibility of the stars to avoid staying up to 3am to find coudy skies. Highly recommend.
Very Nice
Using Xasteria tonight, and the app is nicely forecasting my viewing conditions. Thank you/Ευχαριστώ πολύ
Just what you need
Quick. Easy to read. Just what an amateur astronomer needs.
Very useful
Great easy to use astronomy app. Simple but all the options youll really need.
So far so good !
I just downloaded the app so I dont know how it will perform long term but it found my location accurately and shows all the data I was hoping it would. I think it will be a helpful tool for my backyard stargazing.
