Provides a list of LUNAR PHASES, a CALENDAR view, a FLAT VIEW COMPASS, a MAP VIEW and an AUGMENTED REALITY CAMERA 3-D VIEW showing the lunar path and its hour intervals. Also includes detailed description of event timing for solar and lunar ECLIPSES, such as local visibility, exact start and end times and maximum magnitude.
* Ideal for photographers and anyone involved in outdoor nighttime activities.
* Great for planning optimal light conditions.
Note - if you are interested in daytime light conditions, please look at the "Sun Seeker" app, which provides related functionality for the sun.
Main Features
* Uses GPS and magnetometer to find the correct lunar position and path for your current location, or for any location on earth
* Flat compass view showing current lunar position, diurnal lunar angle and elevation (separated into above and bow horizon segments)
* 3D augmented reality camera overlay view showing the moon's current position, its path with hour points marked
* Map view showing lunar light direction and elevation at all hours, for any location, scrollable for any date and time
* Ability to choose any date and view lunar path for that day
Notes
* The compass accuracy depends on having an undistorted magnetic field around your device. If you use it close to metallic objects or electrical equipment, directional accuracy may be impaired.
Version 5.4 crashes every time I try use the 3D view on an iPhone 5s running iOS 9.3.5
The gap explained.
Toobird
Graham Dawson responded to my question about the gap in the moon's path shortly after I emailed Ajanware and his fast response was greatly appreciated. His email follows:"The sun travels very close to a full circle every 24 hours - not exactly, but close enough to make it look like a complete circle.On the other hand the moon travels typically less than 360 degrees during a day, although sometimes it may be more. The app shows the moon's path for one calendar day. If it travels less than 360deg then you will see a gap, where if it travels more than 360 you will see an overlapping section."Again, I appreciate the fast response and am happy to add the app as a compliment to Sun Seeker. It performs as advertised.
Current Issue // Thinks Moon is about 90° Away
FascistbookSucks
Currently says the moon is 90° or so away from its current position. Great app otherwise.
Missing some functions
Mars-seeker
Missing some function from Sunseeker, like a time slider.
v5.9.1
* NEW - Lunar Phases tabulation now has an info button on rhs when there is an eclipse, and eclipse details are displayed in an alert view if tap on cell (same code to generate the eclipse description text as in Sun Seeker).
* FIXED - Widgets now display legibly in tinted mode
