FAQ
How do I know moonrise/moonset direction?
Set a location and date, and the map draws moonrise (blue line) and moonset (dashed line) directions. The moon rises about 50 minutes later each day and its direction shifts with phase.
What does the map rotation do?
On mobile, tapping My Location rotates the map to your facing direction. For best accuracy, align the azimuth to 0 degrees and keep the device level.
What is moon phase (age)?
Days since the new moon: 0 is new moon, about 15 is full moon. A full moon rises at dusk and stays up all night; a waning crescent appears briefly before dawn.
Beyond photography, what is it for?
Useful for fishing (tides, moonlight), hiking/camping (night visibility), stargazing (finding moonless nights), and following the lunar calendar.
