Kurt- no kidding, I'm glad you said that, and it's not laziness, just practicality. After 37 years in this hobby, and worrying about seeing, transparancy, darkness, for so long, because someone with a bigger telescope did, one day I just let it go. With experience, you can tell when the sky is right and when it's less than ideal pretty quickly. If an individual is compelled to categorize and rate conditions for a scientific or project-related reason, great, if not, it's neurosis or boredom. Unless it's overcast and just hopeless, once at a site I've never packed up and went home because the conditions weren't optimal. No offense intended, Rich, I just think concern about rating sky conditions is like talking about the weather. The sky is what it is, you get what you get.
