Dark Skies: Astrophotography

Dark Skies is an astrophotography planner for photographers who want one clear answer: is tonight worth shooting?
Compare your saved shooting locations with Best Location and quickly see which offers the strongest opportunity for Milky Way, Moon, meteor, and night-sky photography. Dark Skies considers the Night Score, usable darkness, weather conditions, moonlight, timing, and distance without burying you in unnecessary data.
Choose a location and Night Plan brings the important details together in one clear view, including your recommended shooting window, cloud and weather conditions, Moon and astronomical darkness timing, and quick actions for sharing, Calendar, Maps, and Field Mode.
When you arrive, Field Mode gives you a red-on-black view with live countdowns and practical guidance designed for use under the night sky.
Built for DSLR, mirrorless, and film photographers, Dark Skies combines astrophotography weather forecasts, planning tools, AR sky guidance, alerts, widgets, and exposure calculations in a focused experience.
