I am sure that someone has told me the reason why the sky is so good after a star party. As this year comes to a close I seem to recall that Sunday night is always better than Saturday night. And the next scheduled star party will tend to show clouds moving in around Friday afternoon. Is there a rule of nature or a mathematical formula to explain this? See for you self.
