Store description excerpt
SunScout tells you the one thing no other app can: the exact window when YOUR spot is actually in direct sunlight. Drop a pin on real 3D terrain, scrub the timeline, and watch the ridge shadow retreat — "this slope lights up at 6:41, 22 minutes after sunrise" — before you drive hours to find out the hard way. When the sun goes down, the same timeline plans your night: Milky Way, moon phases, eclipses and meteor showers over the same real terrain. KNOW THE LIGHT - Per-spot "in direct sunlight" window: the exact minutes your location is lit, computed against the real ridgeline (not just sunrise time) - Real-time sun position and terrain shadows for any time and any date - Golden-hour bands on the timeline + golden-hour push notifications - Day timetable: sunrise/sunset, all three twilights, golden & blue hour, moon and galactic-core events in chronological order PLAN THE NIGHT (Pro) - Milky Way planner: galactic-core arc over the 3D terrain with rise/set and the dark-sky visibility window - Sky calendar: moon phases, meteor showers and solar/lunar eclipses month by month (embedded eclipse catalog) - Star chart: stars, constellations, planets and Messier objects on a live fisheye planisphere - Dark-night finder: rank upcoming nights by moonlight vs Milky Way FRAME THE SHOT - FPV viewfinder with true focal-length framing (14–400 mm), tripod or drone height, drawing real far-ridge silhouettes beyond the rendered terrain - Line-of-sight check: know if a ridge blocks your subject - AR field finder: sun, moon and peak markers over the live terrain horizon, stating how far the horizon is sampled (Pro) - Peak identification: name, distance, height and bearing for every summit on your horizon (Pro) FIELD TOOLS - Ten photo calculators: exposure, ND filter, light meter, timelapse, depth of field, hyperfocal, field of view, panorama, star trails and star exposure (NPF/500 rule) - Sky compass: a live azimuth dial for sun, moon and galactic center - Light-pollution heatmap with a Bortle class & SQM estimate for your spot (Pro) - Hourly + 10-day weather and the planetary-Kp aurora outlook at your spot (Pro) - Astronomical tide curve with high/low water and the spring/neap meter (Pro; equilibrium model, not a surveyed tide table) - Rainbow & moonbow position with a cloud-distance estimate (Pro) DRONE SIMULATION (planning only — SunScout cannot control drones) - Ground / drone camera modes, 0–120 m hover height, five consumer drone presets - Sunlit window at the hover height: green timeline band + exact minute difference vs the ground, plus the first-lit-altitude read-out - Orbit-path terrain pre-check and wind suitability vs your drone's official limit - Local rules reminder for the US, UK, Australia, Canada and the EU SCOUT ANYWHERE - Real 3D terrain on demand, 60°N–56°S, with satellite imagery draped over it - Search by name, pick on a map, or type coordinates; save your favorite spots - Export shot plans and KML for Google Earth and drone apps (Pro) FREE
