## What is FotoNoa?

FotoNoa tells you when and from where to take the photo you have in mind. Sun, Moon, Milky Way, eclipses and meteor showers, calculated for your exact location and matched with the weather forecast.

TODAY, THE WHOLE DAY AT A GLANCE
Sunrise, golden hour, sunset, blue hour and full night, with the weather for each one. The Moon's phase, its rises and sets, and the next eclipse with its countdown.

THE MAP THAT PLANS THE SHOT
On the Google map, drop a pin on the hill, the church or the tree you want to photograph and move through time: FotoNoa tells you at what time the Sun, the Moon or the center of the Milky Way pass right there.
• Line up: finds the exact date and time of the alignment by itself
• Terrain viewer with real relief, to know whether the hill blocks your horizon
• Dates: which days the full Moon rises behind that peak, with the phase you choose
• Light and shadow over the terrain at any time you want
• Preview of the frame, with the real street photo or drawn from afar
• Terrain height, distance, bearing and apparent size of the Sun or Moon
• Favorites: save the whole scene and bring it back whenever you want

AUGMENTED REALITY VIEWER
Point your phone at the sky and see where the Sun, the Moon with its real phase, the planets, the drawn constellations, the nebulae, the satellites and the Space Station are, and where they will be. With the Milky Way in its real position and the stars turning around the celestial pole.

NIGHTS WORTH GOING OUT
A simple 1 to 10 score for the night, combining clouds by layer, humidity, fog, the Moon and the real light pollution of your area. Plus "Which night is best?", which rates the next 10 nights and tells you which one to pick and why.

PLACES NEARBY
Lookouts, hills, beaches and dams within 30 km, with the quality of their sky, and a daily recommendation: whether this week is for night shooting, chasing the Moon or photographing a sunrise.

NEAR YOU: WORKSHOPS, OUTINGS AND STORES
The Nearby tab gathers what you have at hand to go out shooting: workshops and outings by photographers who teach in your area, with date, place and how to book, and photography stores and services (gear, rentals, developing, repair) with address, phone and directions. If you have a store, a service or an event, there is a form to get listed.

LEARN PHOTOGRAPHY
Step-by-step guides with illustrations and videos: photography basics (aperture, shutter speed, ISO, the exposure triangle), night sky, portrait, landscape, product, timelapse, the Moon, the Sun, filters and how to choose a lens. Enter your camera and lenses once and the tutorials give you the exact numbers for YOUR gear, not generic values. And in the Courses tab, online courses by photographers who teach what the app helps you plan.

REAL CALCULATIONS
A native, precise astronomy engine (astronomy-engine) and public data: Open-Meteo for weather, OpenStreetMap for maps and places, the World Atlas of Light Pollution, CelesTrak for satellites and NASA for imagery.

Free, ad-free and made with care for the photography community.

The Wikipedia cards of the sky viewer open the article in your language.

### 1.0.12 — 2026-09-09

Tu foto en 3D, renovada: el zoom arranca en 8 mm y marca todos tus lentes, el cielo se dibuja con las nubes, la niebla y la lluvia del pronóstico de esa hora, y desde ahí elegís con qué lente calcular y guardás el favorito sin volver al mapa.

Favoritos con foto: cada uno guarda la imagen del 3D, tienen pantalla propia con notas, y se los podés mandar a un amigo por un enlace.

«Llevar sin señal» deja la salida entera guardada en el teléfono, para cuando no hay internet donde vas a fotografiar.

«Tu salida» te guía paso a paso en el lugar, desde llegar hasta la última foto.

«Ver» ahora abre el Street View mirando justo hacia tu punto marcado, sin límite de veces.

Aprender suma la guía del histograma y las herramientas «Misma luz» y timelapse.

Arreglado: recibir un favorito por enlace ya no cierra la app, el buscador del mapa no se traba y el visor del cielo no falla al abrirse.

### 1.0.11 — 2026-09-06

Mapa nuevo: ahora es el de Google, más rápido y con satélite de mejor detalle.
Eventos estrena la solapa Cerca: talleres, salidas y las tiendas y servicios de fotografía que tenés a mano.
Hoy se divide en Planificación y Comunidad.
El día hora por hora se mira de otro día con las flechas, sin cambiar tu fecha.
Lo que ya cargó se guarda media hora: la app abre más rápido y gasta menos datos.
El botón de mi ubicación del mapa lleva el pin a donde está el teléfono, y el buscador suma «Usar mi ubicación».
Visor: al volver del segundo plano el cielo vuelve a apuntar bien, sin cerrar y abrir.

### 1.0.9 — 2026-09-03

Fechas: qué día la Luna llena sale detrás de ese cerro, con fase y ventana a elegir.
Luz y sombra del relieve en el mapa, a la hora que elijas.
Ayuda del visor en tarjetas, sin lenguaje técnico.
Videos nuevos en Aprender.
Si el pronóstico no llega, se muestra el último guardado y se avisa.
