I can't speak for all canadians. But I can say that the Canadian
Meterological Center (CMC) does not use the phrase "clear sky chart".
I do.

I won't be suing anyone. But i'd prefer that you'd call your own
weather forecasting graphic something else just to reduce confusion.

As it is I already get emails from people all over north america
asking things like "when will the gate to Mount Wilson be open
tonight", when Mount Wilson is 3000 miles away from me. I am willing
to answer zillions of emails about the clear sky charts, since its all
my fault. But i'd prefer not to have to forward zillions more emails
to other "clear sky charts" that I have no control over.

However, if CMC ever starts publishing data for Australia, i'll start
making clear sky charts ... I mean the graphical weather forecasting
web-thingies that I make.... for Australia as soon as I possibly can.

If you do make an astronomy weather forecast for Oz, please let know
so I can link your site.
