Description
Choosing when and where to observe is hard. It's a pain to take out your telescope and then having to put it away when clouds quickly roll in.
Well, now you don't have to. With iCSC on your iPhone, you can easily search around for the best location, using Clear Sky Charts published by Attilla Danko.
The Clear Sky Chart, invented and maintained by Attilla Danko, shows at a glance when, in the next 48 hours, one might expect clear and dark skies for a specific observing site.
There are over 4600 charts available for North America, with data provided by Allan Rahill of the Canadian Meteorological Center. These charts provide Cloud Cover, Transparency, Seeing, Darkness, Wind, Humidity, and Temperature. Users can also enable a legend to help read the charts.
iCSC allows users to find charts by title, location, or with a map. Users can then save the charts that they use often.
While Clear Sky Charts are targeted at astronomers, anyone who wishes to look into the heavens, or needs a highly accurate sky forecast can benefit from iCSC: Clear Sky Chart Viewer.

Useful, but often not useable
This app encapsulates information derived from Attila Danko's website, and is certainly handier than navigating the website itself to find a sky forecast for your location. Unfortunately the app freezes if allowed to sleep for a while - go off and do something else, then return to refresh your information, and your only recourse is to quit the app and relaunch it. That's not hard to do, but it's very annoying if you wanted to do a quick check before heading out the door.

Very good
Really useful for night sky photography. Detailed data.
It just needs some (look and feel) enhancements.
2015-05-17
Horrible interface to useful data
App is extremely out of date. Does not respond well to new phones general lack of pride in the presentation of the material.

Best Weather App for Astronomers!
If you need to know the weather for a very specific location and not just a general forecast but transparency and seeing, this is the app.
I gave it only 4 stars because it is iPhone size and I would love more detail for my ipad as well.
