Every tool keeps working deep in the mountains or abroad with no signal.

◆ MILKY WAY PLANNER
• Tonight's shootable window, computed from astronomical darkness, galactic-core altitude and the moon
• The band's tilt angle and the moment it stands vertical
• Maximum exposure for pinpoint stars — NPF and 500 rules side by side
• Capture the declination of wherever your camera points, via compass

• Real positions of the sun, moon, Milky Way and bright stars overlaid on your camera view
• Scrub time to pre-visualise sunrise alignments and moonrise compositions
• Southern-sky stars such as Canopus and the Southern Cross included

◆ LIGHT-POLLUTION MAP
• Worldwide VIIRS data bundled inside the app — no downloads, works offline
• Live sky-brightness readout (nW) and darkness grade anywhere on the map
• Save dark-sky spots as your shooting location across the app

◆ ND FILTER · LONG EXPOSURE
• Pick a target exposure time and the filters you own — get the optimal stack and aperture instantly
• Built-in camera light meter for the base exposure

◆ HYPERFOCAL & DEPTH OF FIELD
• DoF diagram per sensor, lens and aperture, with the hyperfocal distance
• Measure focus and subject distances right on the map

◆ ALMANAC & TIDES
• Sunrise/sunset, moonrise/moonset, twilights, blue & golden hour, moon-phase calendar
• Daily tide curve with high/low water times and heights (global tide model + official Korean forecasts)

◆ FIELD TOOLS
◆ FIELD TOOLS
• Precision level — guides you by sound and haptics, even lying face-down on your camera
• Measure heights and slope angles through the camera
