Descripció

The map displays VIIRS/World Atlas/Clouds/Aurora/IAU observatories and the user SQM measurements overlay over Microsoft Bing base layers (road and hybrid Bing maps).

The primary use is to show VIIRS/DMSP data in a friendly manner, but over time it also included some other interesting overlays that concern light pollution like SQM/SQC, World Atlas 2015 zenith brightness, clouds, aurora and IAU observatories. If you have a permanent SQM reader installed you can add it to the map by sending me an e-mail.

If you want an analysis of radiance (VIIRS/DMSP) changes over a period of time, then please use the Lighttrends application (look under Help).

Please send comments and requests for new features via email (look under help)

- VIIRS, Sky Brightness (World Atlas 2015), Cloud coverage and Aurora forecast layers

More usable for mobile

I’v been using the website for a long time and it’s great to finally have a more usable version for mobile. Happy to support the developer more directly too and remove the ads. Thanks to the developer for adding landscape mode on iPad after request. 👍 Now wishing for a lighttrends app and the new contribution tool 😉

Thanks for your feedback. The new version should now support landscape mode on iPad.

Great, but wish text was larger.

I really like the app, but I have trouble seeing the text (location names). When i try to zoom, the landscape zooms but the text remains very small. I would love an option to zoom or set the size of the text.

Unfortunately the basemaps are provided by Microsoft and I can't customize them. The good news is that there are high DPI versions of the same maps which have larger labels as you zoom in. I just updated the app to version 1.1.7 which has the option to switch to high DPI basemaps under Settings. Try it out and let me know.

Edit: It seems Microsoft just changed how this works (the map is sharper, but text is still small on all zoom levels). A fix will have to wait till the next version
