Clear Sky Clock Widget overview

Clear Sky Clock Widget is a simple and easy to use dashboard widget for evaluating sky conditions suitable for astronomical viewing. Simply install the widget, flip it over, and choose the location of interest. The data is retrieved (with permission) from Atilla Danko's Clear Sky Chart Web pages. Instructions on how to interpret the clock are located there (although a legend and re-sizing of the widget are now built-in). [Dashboard no longer exists in macOS 10.15 Catalina, so this widget will not work on macOS 10.15 or later.]

Version: 1.0

It seems like a really nice idea for astronomers, but unfortunately, I don't have the screen real estate for it. If a resizable or mini version is made, I'll check it out again.

A key would be useful: what does blue mean? And any chance of making it a bit smaller? More... widget sized :-) Oh I see, it's just a downloaded picture. So ‘Click for Help' isn't going to work, is it? See, this thing is so -H-U-G-E- it needs to be closed, and opened when I decide to use it. Kinda defeats the object of widgetry. Hm. Useful info, and a tidy chooser, but you're limited by the data you're requesting, I guess.
