Sun Surveyor provides powerful tools to plan, predict, visualize and interact with the sun and moon - all wrapped in an easy to use interface, with great support.
"I always use this app when planning shooting points and times in different locations. An absolute must-have tool for every professional landscape photographer."
— Sergey Louks
"Sun Surveyor has become my go-to app when I’m planning Milky Way shoots. It not only tells me the azimuth and altitude of the galactic center, the most photogenic part of the Milky Way, it also tells me the azimuth and altitude of the highest point of the Milky Way arch, which is invaluable information when shooting Milky Way panoramas such as this view of Capitol Peak in Colorado’s Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness."
"Sun Surveyor has made me obsessed with finding the perfect sunset. The app is so easy to use; it makes scouting locations a breeze. I live over 100 miles away from where I took the shot above, but I knew exactly where and when to go over a week in advance. That kind of information is invaluable and would be impossible without an app like this."
"As it turns out, the moon only falls in that exact location from that specific perspective of the temple twice a year for a total of about 45 seconds. Using tools like Sun Surveyor make it possible to take advantage of each of those seconds, to capture a truly unique landscape image, and plan it from several thousand miles away."
— Niel Hayes
"Knowing in advance exactly what the sun and moon will be doing means I can easily get photos that would have taken huge amounts of patience or luck otherwise. It has enabled me to plan travels to remote locations, confident that I'll be able to view the Northern Lights without interference from moonlight, or simply that I'll be able to arrive at a destination before nightfall."
— Chris Miller
"Sun Surveyor is essential in understanding and predicting how the sun and moon light scenery - the key to stunning photographs! I use Sun Surveyor to plan shooting locations because it takes away the risk of setting up in the wrong place."
