About Xasteria Plus - Astro Weather
Xasteria Plus is the expanded version of the free Xasteria Weather app. It adds premium forecast sources, an Apple Watch companion app, Home Screen widgets, and more observing tools and features.
It also helps fund the 7Timer forecast servers that power the free ASTRO forecast used by Xasteria and observers around the world.
If you haven't tried Xasteria yet, the free version is a good place to start.
Forecast sources
• 7Timer / GFS: worldwide ASTRO forecast covering cloud cover, seeing, transparency, temperature, humidity, rain/snow, instability and wind
• Apple Weather: configurable hourly hyperlocal forecast, up to 10 days
• MET Norway: ECMWF-based, useful in terrain-heavy regions
• OpenWeather: hyper-local real-time conditions at your precise location
• Cloud Map: animated EUMETSAT and NASA infrared satellite imagery covering the last few hours

More Tools
• Aurora forecast, with worldwide and local data/maps.
