=== Fields === '''weather''' The main object containing weather data from four sources: <code>cloudwatcher</code>, <code>ninox</code>, <code>seeing</code>, and <code>average</code>. '''cloudwatcher (General Weather Data)''' * '''clouds''' (float): Current sky temperature in degrees Celsius. * '''temp''' (float): Current temperature in degrees Celsius. * '''wind''' (float): Wind speed in km/h. * '''gust''' (float): Wind gust speed in km/h. * '''rain''' (float): Rain value (unitless). * '''light''' (float): Ambient light level (unitless). * '''switch''' (integer): Lock switch status: * 1 β Observatories are unlocked. * 0 β Observatories are locked. * '''safe''' (integer): Safety status: * 1 β Safe. * 0 β Unsafe. * '''hum''' (float): Relative humidity (%). * '''dewp''' (float): Dew point temperature in degrees Celsius. * '''cloudsState''' (string): * "Clear" β Low cloud cover. * "Cloudy" β Moderate cloud cover. * "Overcast" β High cloud cover or fully covered skies. * '''rainState''' (string): * "Dry" β Rain > 2000. * "Wet" β Rain between 1700 and 2000. * "Raining" β Rain < 1700. * '''lightState''' (string): * "Dark" β Light > 8000. * "Bright" β Light between 6 and 8000. * "Sunny" β Light <= 6. '''ninox (Astronomical Data)''' * '''UTC''' (string): Current UTC time, format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss. * '''NSBNow''' (float): Current sky-brightness (NSB) value; lower is darker. * '''SunAltitude''' (float): Altitude of the Sun (Β°). * '''MoonAltitude''' (float): Altitude of the Moon (Β°). * '''MoonPhase''' (float): Moon phase (%). * '''ZenithGalacticLatitude''' (float): Galactic latitude at zenith (Β°). * '''NightBestNSB''' (float): Best NSB value for the current night. * '''NightBestNSBTime''' (string): Timestamp of <code>NightBestNSB</code>. * '''NightBestNSBZGL''' (float): Zenith galactic latitude at <code>NightBestNSBTime</code>. * '''OverallBestNSB''' (float): Best overall NSB recorded. * '''OverallBestNSBTime''' (string): Timestamp of <code>OverallBestNSB</code>. * '''OverallBestNSBZGL''' (float): Galactic latitude at <code>OverallBestNSBTime</code>. '''seeing (Atmospheric Seeing Conditions)''' * '''UTC''' (string): UTC time of the current seeing measurement. * '''SeeingValue''' (float): Current seeing value in arcseconds (lower = better). * '''status''' (string): Operational status of the seeing monitor (e.g., "Monitoring", "Idle (Daytime)"). * '''avgSeeing''' (float): Average seeing since monitoring began. * '''monitoringSeeingStart''' (string): Start timestamp for seeing monitoring (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss). * '''minSeeing''' (float): Lowest (best) seeing since <code>monitoringSeeingStart</code>. * '''minSeeingTime''' (string): Timestamp of <code>minSeeing</code>. * '''nightMinSeeing''' (float): Best seeing during the current astronomical night. * '''nightMinSeeingTime''' (string): Timestamp of <code>nightMinSeeing</code>. '''average (Averaged Historical Data)''' * '''avgHum''' (float): Average humidity (%) since monitoring began. * '''avgWind''' (float): Average wind speed (km/h) since monitoring began. * '''avgTemp''' (float): Average temperature (Β°C) since monitoring began. * '''monitoringStart''' (string): Start timestamp for historical averages (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss).
