Reporting it
NightScribe's last mission is keeping your observation from dying on the hard drive: it generates the drafts to tell it, in Spanish and English, with your session's real data.
The draft
In a project's Publishing step, Generate enriches the object (its orbital, physical and context data) and builds three pieces:
ES: the post in Spanish, with the outreach hook, the key facts as bullets and the hashtags (including your MPC code, if you have one).
EN: the same post in English.
X: the short version for the bird network, within the character limit.
Each piece has its own Copy button; choose the output folder with Browse… if you want them saved as files next to the charts. The draft is written on the page itself, with no window to open; while it works, a progress bar tells you it is still going, because an AI draft can take a couple of minutes with a model that "thinks".
Why a draft and not a publishable post? Because the voice is yours. NightScribe supplies the correct data (the distance, the size, the "why it matters" sentence) so you do not have to look it up, but the tone, the picture and the final touch belong to your observatory. Edit freely: the draft regenerates whenever you want.
Writing with AI (optional, experimental)
If you configure a language model in Settings → Integrations (an OpenAI-compatible service, in the cloud or on your own machine), the Publishing step gains two buttons. It is an experimental part of the app: it depends on an external model you connect and may change; the usual template is the stable answer:
Write with AI…: drafts the post from everything the app knows about the project: the object with its explained parameters, the planned night, your visits, the measured magnitudes and the campaign verdict.
What will be sent…: shows the exact fact sheet the model would read, so you see what would leave your machine before it does.
The AI only phrases: it does not measure, it does not classify and it invents no figure. Everything it says comes from the dossier, and what is not there it does not mention. The draft is still yours: review it before publishing.
If you turn on long reports in Settings, the same button also writes a full article in Spanish and English: it adds the object's deepest parameters, the analysis (a saved period, a transit, the astrometry runs, the photometry recipe), the campaign the observation belongs to, and it cites the charts and videos it generated inside the story, with the whole gallery at the end. The article appears in its own Long report card and is saved next to the post. A local model writes it for free; a paid service charges per token, which is why the setting is off by default.
Why off by default? Because the app works the same without it: the usual template stays and needs no network. With the AI off, the AI buttons are disabled and the template writes the post. With a local server (Ollama, for instance) nothing leaves your machine; with a cloud one, the cost and the privacy are that service's.
The charts
Alongside the text, NightScribe generates PNGs ready to attach: the orbit, the sky chart, the night view, the light curve (with the supernova templates in the background when applicable), the confirmation blink or the animation of a NEO's motion. They follow the interface language.
Why is the blink the "acid test"? Because in transient outreach, credibility is everything: an animation where your object moves (or blinks) against the fixed star background proves in two seconds that something is there, without a single equation. It is the image that turns a "I saw it" into a "see for yourself".
And with that, the loop closes: from the afternoon's target to the next morning's post. The appendix 09. The command line summarises how to do all of this without opening the window.
