The problem

Astrophotographers need to know exactly where the moon will be, how bright it will appear, and when it will rise above obstacles. Planning shots with landmarks requires precise position predictions.

The solution

Our Moon Position API provides altitude, azimuth, and illumination data for any time and location. Plan compositions with earthly foregrounds, predict when the moon will clear the horizon, and know exactly how bright it will be.

Everything this unlocks.

Know exact moon position for any shoot time
Plan compositions with landscape features
Predict illumination for exposure planning
Track moon rise above buildings or mountains
