Frequently Asked Questions for Observation

Why is Observation only available in the US and Canada?

The primary source for Conditions data is the Clear Sky Chart, which in turn gets its data from the Canadian Meteorological Centre who only cover North America in their forecasts. Because this data is not available for users outside of North America, Observation would lack seeing and transparency forecasts. Without it, Observation's forecasts are less detailed than those available from other applications and a large part of the auto-filled data in log entries would be missing.

Observation Lite, however, is available outside of North America. It provides the log entry functionality of Observation without conditions information.
