## What is Moon Seeker?

Provides a list of LUNAR PHASES, a CALENDAR view, a FLAT VIEW COMPASS, a MAP VIEW and an AUGMENTED REALITY CAMERA 3-D VIEW showing the lunar path and its hour intervals. Also includes detailed description of event timing for solar and lunar ECLIPSES, such as local visibility, exact start and end times and maximum magnitude.

* Ideal for photographers and anyone involved in outdoor nighttime activities. 
* Great for planning optimal light conditions.

Note - if you are interested in daytime light conditions, please look at the "Sun Seeker" app, which provides related functionality for the sun.

Main Features
* Uses GPS and magnetometer to find the correct lunar position and path for your current location, or for any location on earth
* Flat compass view showing current lunar position, diurnal lunar angle and elevation (separated into above and bow horizon segments)
* 3D augmented reality camera overlay view showing the moon's current position, its path with hour points marked
* Map view showing lunar light direction and elevation at all hours, for any location, scrollable for any date and time
* Ability to choose any date and view lunar path for that day

Notes
* The compass accuracy depends on having an undistorted magnetic field around your device. If you use it close to metallic objects or electrical equipment, directional accuracy may be impaired.
