NightJot policies & information

Disclaimer

Important limits on NightJot observing guidance, sky visibility, safety information, illustrations, and external links.

NightJot publishes general informational and educational material about beginner stargazing. It is not a real-time sky service, a location-specific safety assessment, or a substitute for current guidance from authoritative local sources.

No Professional Relationship or Advice

Reading the site, contacting us, or using any information on the site does not create a professional, instructor, guide, emergency, or advisory relationship. Content should not be treated as personalized advice for your equipment, location, health, access needs, or circumstances.

Accuracy and Updates

We aim to keep content useful and reasonably accurate, but information can become outdated, incomplete, or incorrect. Sky visibility changes with latitude, season, date, time, weather, moonlight, artificial light, terrain, and local obstructions. Equipment specifications, access rules, and safety guidance may also change after publication.

Illustrations Are Not Sky Charts

Article images are AI-generated editorial illustrations unless a page states otherwise. They are not verified star charts, documentary observations, astrophotographs, or exact eyepiece simulations. Do not use an illustration to identify an object, navigate outdoors, or plan a time-sensitive astronomical event.

Solar and Outdoor Safety

Never look at the Sun through binoculars, a telescope, a camera lens, or any other magnifying optical device without a correctly fitted front-mounted solar filter made for the specific instrument. Ordinary sunglasses and eclipse glasses placed behind magnifying optics are not substitutes. Check current weather, access conditions, local rules, terrain, traffic, wildlife, and personal safety before observing outdoors.

The site may link to third-party websites, tools, products, sources, or services. External links are provided for context. We do not control third-party sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, security, availability, or policies.

Affiliate and Sponsored Disclosure

If affiliate or sponsored disclosure is not enabled for this site, readers should still assume that commercial relationships may be added only after they are disclosed in the relevant content or site configuration.

If a page touches on health, legal, emergency, or other high-impact topics, treat it as general education only. Verify important decisions with qualified professionals and authoritative current sources.

Use at Your Own Risk

You are responsible for how you use information from the site. Before relying on content for purchases, professional decisions, business operations, safety, compliance, or personal matters, verify details independently.
