Ground Rules for Sky Guides
By reading and using lunarcompasscrt.sbs, you acknowledge these terms of publication, independent non-affiliation notice, and essential wilderness safety responsibilities.
1. Informational Purpose & Non-Affiliation
All articles, tables, lunar diagrams, and equipment notes published on lunarcompasscrt.sbs are provided for general educational and trip-planning reference only. Lunar Compass Celestial Cartography Ltd is an independent publisher and is not affiliated with DarkSky International, national park services, observatory facilities, or camera and optics brands referenced in editorial comparisons.
2. Outdoor, Altitude & Night-Travel Disclaimer
Travelling into remote deserts, alpine passes, coastal headlands, and forest parks after sunset involves inherent environmental hazards—including rapid hypothermia, high-altitude sickness, unlit drop-offs, seasonal road closures, wildlife encounters, and absence of emergency telecommunications. Always verify current road, permit, weather, and safety advisories directly with official local park rangers and meteorological agencies before travelling. You assume sole responsibility for your field safety, optical gear,—never point any unfiltered lens, binocular, or telescope near the daytime Sun—and compliance with local land-access laws.
3. Ephemeris & Weather Variability
While lunar phases and meteor shower dates follow established astronomical calculations, atmospheric cloud cover, wildfire smoke, volcanic haze, and meteor burst intensity vary unpredictably. Lunarcompasscrt makes no warranty that any specific destination will offer clear skies during your travel dates.
4. Intellectual Property
