Description

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)

Highly Recommended

I've always relied on the web app for checking light pollution levels, and it has consistently been my go-to resource. Now with the dedicated mobile app, the experience has only gotten better. The app is incredibly user-friendly, offering quicker access to real-time data and a more seamless interface compared to the web version. Plus, it's a one-time purchase with no hidden in-app charges. It’s an essential tool for stargazers and astrophotographers alike. Clear Skies!

A rip off

Just go to lighpollutionmap.info to get the same thing

The developers are just taking the website that you can access for free and showing it through a paid app

Developer Response ,

Not entirely true. You have a choice to use the web version with advertisements or use the mobile app without them (mobile app has a few additional functionalities). Some users prefer one over the other. Now if you use advertisements blocking technology then I understand you feel ripped off, but so do I.
