What's New in OwlPlot

1.22.0

October 21, 2026

Plan the 2027 eclipse — and every eclipse to 2035 — from anywhere. • Eclipse planner: open an eclipse, pick a saved spot or search for any place, and see the contact times on that place's clock, how long totality lasts there, how far you are from the centre line and the edge of the path, where the Sun stands, and how often the sky was clear at that hour over the past ten years. • Make a shot plan from an eclipse and its run sheet is written for you: eye safety first, the filter to pack, a frame interval for the partial phase, when to check focus, when the filter comes off and an exposure ladder for the corona. • Field mode speaks the cues so your eyes stay on the sky, and a Live Activity counts down to totality. • OwlPlot now asks you once to agree to its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, both linked from Settings. • OwlPlot opens faster.
