Description
Xasteria was originally created to bring the excellent ASTRO weather forecast of the service 7Timer to your iOS device. With worldwide coverage and one of the best performing astro-seeing models, it is a great tool for all stargazers.
The app has been extended to offer you quick access to all of your favourite weather resources and tools: Clear Sky Charts (for North American users), Clear Outside, Meteoblue, Windy, Astrospheric, Sat24.com, the latest water vapor satellite images and even light pollution maps.
ISS and bight satellite passes for your location are also shown (data from heavens-above.com).
The main forecast source, 7Timer, is based on 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.
-Wind direction.
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, German and French. If you would like to translate it to your own language, please contact the author.
Xasteria will always be ad-free. If you would like to support it, as well as fund the 7Timer service behind it, you can get Xasteria Plus, which can access non-free weather sources and has some extra features like night vision mode, iPhone landscape view, lunar calendar, solar eclipse simulator, location manager.
I would appreciate a quick review on the App Store if you are using the app (there will be no popup asking you in the app as I hate those). If you have a specific request/suggestion you can also try the official app page at http://astro.ecuadors.net

Great but could be better
Love the app! I’d love to see more integration like iPhone and watch widgets, watch app, and notifications when cloud cover is good tonight etc. stuff that helps you know information without having to open the app and refresh it every 15 minutes
Great app
Awesome app to have for anyone interested in astronomy. I use this app whenever I plan on having a observing session. Interface is easy to use and read. On top of that it's 100% free and even better is that there are no ads or annoying pop ups. Thank you for providing this for all us astronomers. Update: I’ve been using this app for a few years now and it’s still my go to app whenever I am about to go on an observing session. I’m based in Melbourne, Australia and it’s been accurate every time.
Perth West Australia
Does not seem to display correct info on cloud cover for Perth in Western Australia, have checked a few different nights. Would be fantastic if it did.
Xasteria
Rubbish. It told me Stockholm was 31c. My son just told me it's-1 My mistake. It was set on Fahrenheit not Celsius. Good app.
Very useful
I use this app quite a bit and find it as accurate as any complex weather app can be. Helps plan my viewing times and what sort of astronomy I might aim for. Good choices of interface type and easy to use. If your an amateur astronomer or a pro give this a go.
