## What is LightTrax?

Know where the light will be.

LightTrax is a light planner for photographers: where the sun, moon and Milky Way core will be, when golden hour and blue hour happen at your exact spot, when the sun really drops behind the hills, and whether tonight's sky is worth going out for.

TODAY AT A GLANCE
• A plain-English headline for right now: "Golden hour now. Sunset in 8 min, to the west-southwest."
• Key times for golden hour, sunset and blue hour — or, at night, when it gets dark and the best window.
• Sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset with directions and the moon's phase.
• A map with the sun and moon direction lines, a compass for which way you're facing, and at night the arc the Milky Way core sweeps across.

PLAN ANY HOUR
Drag through the day and watch the sun and moon move on the map. Search any place, paste coordinates or drop a pin; times follow that place's time zone, so a trip abroad shows local times.

A SKY OUTLOOK, NOT A GUESS
For each sunset and sunrise, LightTrax rates the sky Good, Fair or Poor, with the reason in plain words. It reads the forecast cloud at your spot and 100 km toward the sun, where the clouds that catch color are. It's an outlook, not a guarantee: confidence firms up as the day gets closer, and close calls say "Could go either way."

For astro, choose Stars & deep sky or Milky Way. The night outlook weighs darkness, cloud through the night and the moon, and for the Milky Way whether the core clears the horizon. You get the best clear window, like "Clear 11 PM–3 AM." (It doesn't account for light pollution.)

A HEADS-UP WHEN IT'S WORTH GOING OUT
Turn on alerts for a saved spot, or for wherever you are. LightTrax checks the forecast in the background and tells you days ahead when the light looks good, then nudges you 30, 60 or 120 minutes before it starts. If the outlook drops, it says the plan changed. Quiet hours hold the news until morning, and you can add a window to your calendar from the notification.

Or set a plain reminder on golden hour, sunset, blue hour, nightfall, moonrise or the Milky Way core.

TIMES THAT FOLLOW THE REAL HORIZON
Textbook sunset assumes flat ground. LightTrax uses elevation data around your spot: "The sun dips behind higher ground to the west at 6:15 PM, 23 min before sunset." The Horizon view draws your actual skyline with the sun's path across it. Once computed, it works offline.

YOUR SPOTS, YOUR SHOT LOG
Save the places you shoot. Log a visit in seconds: how the light was, notes, a photo. LightTrax records the actual weather and what it predicted, so each spot shows how its outlook did there. Tell it when you really lost the sun and it corrects that spot's skyline for trees and buildings.
