About PhotoLuxora - Light Planner
PhotoLuxora is a field kit for photographers who chase light. Twelve tools in one dark, glare free app that tell you where the sun will set, when the Milky Way core rises, how deep your focus runs and which ND filter saves your long exposure. PLAN Scout: a live map with sun, moon, Milky Way, Polaris, meteors and shadow lengths for any place and time on Earth Sun Tracker: sunrise, sunset, golden and blue hour to the minute, plus solar eclipses Moon Tracker: phases, moonrise and moonset, supermoons, conjunctions and lunar eclipses Astrophotography: safe shutter limits (500 rule and NPF), Milky Way windows, star trails and meteor showers AR view: hold up your phone and see the sun path or tonight's sky lined up over the real world SHOOT Exposure: balance ISO, aperture and shutter with instant feedback DOF: depth of field and hyperfocal distance, visualized ND Filter: stack up to three filters and get the corrected time, reciprocity included Timer: countdown, bulb and intervalometer with light and sound triggers Flash: guide number math with a live background preview Subject Distance: how far to stand to frame your subject, and what that does to the background Compositions and Color Wheel: classic framing schemes and palettes pulled straight from your photos
What’s new
Version 1.1 · Updated August 19, 2026
Scout learned the terrain. • New Info card: coordinates, altitude, sky brightness on the Bortle scale and a live map compass. • Light Pollution layer: a translucent Bortle-scale map of the night sky drawn right over the Scout map. • Horizon: drag a line around your spot to read the terrain height in any direction, or open a full 360-degree panorama of the surrounding ridges. • Sun, Moon, the Milky Way and meteor radiants plotted on that panorama, so you can see what hides behind a ridge. Rise and set headers now show real terrain-aware times, like "Behind ridge until 07:42". • Measure now reads the terrain between you and your subject: fully visible, partly hidden or blocked, with a tap-to-open terrain cross-section. Also in this update: • All trackers show times in the chosen location's own time zone. • Solar eclipse and Moon-planet conjunction calendars extended to 2035. • Astro shooting conditions use real sky-brightness data for your spot. • Smoother map pins, a clearer settings screen for daily terrain data, and plenty of fixes.
