01 · Weather, Radar & Rain Alerts
Check the location where the camera will be.
Review the forecast for the actual shoot location, especially when it differs from where you are planning. Cloud cover matters for stars, while rain and changing conditions affect the whole rig. Compare the forecast with your planned capture duration. A clear opening hour does not say much about the rest of an overnight session.
Check the location where the camera will be.
02 · Weather, Radar & Rain Alerts
Keep radar and alerts in the capture workflow.
Weather radar gives you another way to inspect approaching conditions while recording. Forecast-based rain alerts can draw attention to a change worth reviewing. They are a prompt to check the setup, not a promise that equipment is protected. Keep the phone and accessories in conditions their manufacturers support and remain able to reach the camera.

03 · Weather, Radar & Rain Alerts
Use weather alongside the sky plan.
Dark Hours and Sky Planner can identify an appealing astronomical window, but cloud cover can make that window impractical. Review both before a trip and again closer to capture. Afterward, session statistics can include weather context alongside exposure and device information, helping you understand why a session differed from the one you expected.
