Nightwatch Mac app alerts stargazers to clear night skies

Original: Show HN: Nightwatch – a Mac menu-bar app that tells you when tonight is clear

Developer Robert Sutcliffe has released Nightwatch, a free open-source Mac menu-bar application that notifies users when sky conditions will be clear enough for stargazing that evening. The tool sits quietly in the menu bar and checks cloud cover forecasts, appealing to amateur astronomers and astrophotographers who otherwise have to check weather apps manually. The release is drawing attention on Hacker News, where users are discussing its simplicity and usefulness.

Why now: A new open-source developer tool launch is being showcased to the Hacker News community, which regularly discusses useful utilities.
