About Nightlog: Milky Way Planner

Nightlog is a focused planning and logging companion for landscape astrophotographers. Plan a shoot, dial in your settings with built-in calculators, and keep a private record of every session! PLAN • Organize work as Trips, Shoots, and Locations • Save dark-sky spots with notes, Bortle class, elevation, and access details that stick around across visits • See every saved location on a dark-styled map • One-tap directions via Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze CALCULATE • Field of view for any sensor and focal length • Star-trail length • Milky Way exposure recommender (aperture, shutter, ISO) tuned to a target sky brightness • Tracker check: verify your shutter/ISO/aperture against the Milky Way target • New Timelapse calculator: solve between frames, interval, and shooting time, and see your final clip length. LOG • Attach planning screenshots and result captures to each shoot • EXIF, gear, and calculator snapshots saved alongside your images • Mark your keepers GEAR-AWARE • Add your cameras and lenses once; calculators default to your sensor size and pixel width • Variable-aperture zooms handled correctly Built for the field: a dark, dark-adaptation-friendly interface so you can use it at night without ruining your night vision.

What’s new

Version 1.3 · Updated August 11, 2026

Guides, everywhere you need them Nightlog now explains itself. A short tour runs the first time you open the app, and every tab has an in-depth guide covering the parts that aren't obvious: why your gear goes in before the calculators are useful, what the ≈ beside an aperture means on a variable zoom, how one shoot can belong to more than one trip. Tap ? in any tab header, or open Profile → Guide & tour to read them again or replay the tour. Fixed: dates outside the Americas If your device is set to a timezone at or east of UTC, a shoot's date could appear a day early in a trip, and move a day earlier each time you opened and saved it. Dates now read the same on every screen. This update doesn't alter your saved dates but if one drifted before now, set it again and it will hold. Also in this release The tour, the guides and every empty screen stay readable at the largest accessibility text sizes.
