Description
Xasteria brings the Astronomical-oriented ASTRO weather forecast of the service 7Timer! to your iOS device. You can use your device GPS for a forecast of your location, or enter manual coordinates.
ISS passes and Iridium flares for your location are also shown (data from heavens-above.com).
Quick access to astro weather web sources like Clear Outside and Meteoblue, as well as to the latest water vapor satellite images is also provided.
7Timer! is mainly derived from the NOAA/NCEP-based numeric weather model, the Global Forecast System (GFS) and gives you a forecast for the entire globe with a resolution of about 20km at 3-hour intervals.
The data provided includes:
-Sun/Moon rise/set & twilight times.
-Moon phase.
-Cloud cover.
-Astronomical seeing.
-Atmospheric transparency.
-Temperature.
-Humidity.
-Rain/Snow.
-Atmospheric instability.
-Wind.
Xasteria provides you with a choice of 3 visualization modes for the data: the new 7Timer! ASTRO graphics, the color-stripe graphics similar to some other astro-forecast services and a raw text mode.
Xasteria is available in English, Greek and French. If you would like to translate it to your own language, please contact the author.
A special version of Xasteria is included in the Polar Scope Align Pro app, taking advantage of that app's night vision mode and location manager.
I would appreciate a quick review on iTunes if you are using the app - if you have a specific request/suggestion you can also try the official app page at http://astro.ecuadors.net

Xasteria
I have been using Xasteria for about 2 months and have been very pleased with it, however it has recently stopped working completely. I have tried reinstalling it but it still won’t work. Is there a problem? If it was still working I would have left 5 stars.

Great app for astronomers
I use this app solely for predicting weather conditions for planetary imaging and have found it to be the most accurate single app that I use. I use a lot of methods and apps together to predict optimum conditions for imaging but as for a single app that will reliably predict clear skies this is the one to go for. Great little app.
September 2018 Update:
Love the new user interface from the most recent update. Such a simple concept to make the daylight hours yellow and the night hours black but really helps quickly see what you need to. Great app that is easily the best and most useful for amateur astronomers.
