About this app
Master the night with Dark Night, the ultimate technical tool for planning and executing high-precision astrophotography.
Designed by and for photographers, Dark Night combines precise astronomical calculations, specialized meteorology, and powerful calculators in an interface optimized for real-world use in the field.
🌌 1. PRECISION PLANNING
Total Darkness Window: Locate periods of true darkness (astronomical twilight).
Galactic Center Visibility: Precise intervals for capturing the core of the Milky Way.
Complete Ephemeris: Accurate Sun and Moon data to prevent moonlight from affecting your deep-sky shots.
Interactive Timeline: Visualize the minute-by-minute transition from light to deep night.
☁️ 2. SPECIALIZED METEOROLOGY
3-Level Cloud Cover: Breakdown of cloud cover into low, medium, and high layers.
Field Alerts: Warnings for condensation (dew point), wind (shake), and visibility.
Success Indicator: Algorithms that evaluate whether conditions are suitable for capturing the Milky Way.
🧮 3. ADVANCED TECHNICAL CALCULATORS
NPF Rule: Stars as points based on pixel size and aperture (supersedes the outdated 500 Rule).
Star Trail Simulator: Calculates star trails, number of photos, and required memory card space (RAW).
Hyperfocal Distance: Maximizes depth of field in your nightscapes.
Diffraction Calculator: Find the "sweet spot" of your lens and avoid loss of detail.
EV Guide: Professional adjustment of ISO, aperture, and shutter speed.
🔭 4. FIELD TOOLS
Station Approach: Quickly align your star tracker with your phone's sensors.
Bortle Scale: Identify the light pollution level of any location.
Night Mode (Retina Protection): Red-toned interface to preserve your visual sensitivity in the dark.
🤖 5. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
AI Assistant (Gemini): Personalized planning reports and technical advice based on real-time session data.
Dark Night: Photo Planner is a multilingual (ES, EN, FR, IT, DE, PT) app designed to function as a PWA with basic offline support.
Stop guessing and start planning! Download Dark Night and capture the night like never before.
