Contradictory indeed -- definitely let my eyes take on more than my stomach could process.
Curious to learn more about your calendars. I don't quite understand what you mean by 'see the darkest night hours' or 'all my data is to hand.'
It sounds like you're interested in new ways to visualize calendars, compared to the traditional grids. You might enjoy checking out Lightpad or Circular calendars. They represent time in a more real form, but I've struggled to use them day-to-day.
I've got astronomical data for sun and moon rise and set, and inclination etc.
im making sofware that generates pretty html calendars displaying this in normal almanac type forms. I'm trying to make it easier to see "at glance" which nights are darkest, or when the darkness lasts longest, for things like astro-photography... or which nights are best lit for hunting.
The data is the easy part. Deciding how to show it in a way that makes sense and doesnt require effort to decode, that's hard. The sublime ease with which we read conventional calendars is amazing.
Gotcha, cool! Share a link to the project, would love to check it out. Definitely an interesting UX design challenge, combining astrological and almanac calendars
