Astrospheric
Professional for Star Parties and Events
Astronomy events like star parties play a crucial role in public outreach, education, and community building. To better support these wonderful organizations and events, Astrospheric is offering tools and professional data sets to organizers and participants.

- Ensemble Cloud Forecast specifically tuned for astronomers. Check multiple cloud models in one easy view.
- Weather alerts with custom trigger events for any location, including the location of the star party or event.
- Smoke forecast to track wildfire smoke and its impact on sky transparency.
- Access to extended cloud forecasts and advanced map layers.
- Communicate with participants directly in the Astrospheric app in a privacy focused environment
- Manage the attendee list
- Quickly get updates out to participants so everyone is in the loop
- Participants can communicate and share images and stories
