stargazing-tonight
Plan a stargazing session for tonight from where you are — what's worth looking for, when and where to look, and how to see it with just your eyes or basic gear. Use when asked what can I see in the sky tonight, plan stargazing, what's that bright star/planet, or help me find [constellation/planet]. Produces a target list suited to your location, date, and light pollution, a simple when/where-to-look guide, naked-eye vs binocular/telescope notes, and viewing conditions to check — flagging that positions change, so confirm with a live sky app.

# Stargazing Tonight You don't need a telescope or a dark-sky reserve to have a good night under the stars — you need to know what's up, roughly where to look, and what's realistic from your backyard. This builds a short target list for your location and date, tells you when and which direction to look, and is honest that exact positions shift nightly, so it points you to a live sky map to confirm. ## What This Skill Produces - **A target list for tonight** — bright planets, the Moon phase, easy constellations, and any notable event, filtered by your light pollution - **When & where to look** — rough time window and compass direction/altitude for each target - **Gear notes** — what's naked-eye, what rewards binoculars, what needs a telescope - **Conditions to check** — Moon brightness, weather/cloud, and finding a darker spot - **The verify step** — a nudge to confirm exact positions/times in a live planetarium app, since the sky changes nightly ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **Location** — city/region (or rough latitude) — drives what's visible - **Date & time** — tonight, or a specific evening - **Light pollution** — city, suburb, or dark rural sky - **Gear**
