I'd like to start working on the Herschel 400, using SkySafari 6 for my logging. The AL requires that Transparency be recorded for each observation. But within SkySafari 6, (Android), I'm not seeing a field for Transparency. I see Seeing, Limiting Magnitude, and Sky Quality (mpsa). If the AL requires that transparency be recorded for most of their observation programs, shouldn't there be a field for Transparency when recording observations in SkySafari?

  Both limiting magnitude and MPSA are transparency metrics. I personally use MPSA since I have a sky quality meter but if you don't, try the limiting magnitude field.

  And good luck on the Herschel 400, it's great!

  Great, I'll use the Limiting Magnitude Field.  Thanks Chris!
