Field notes
The planner offers several ways to define a skyline: presets, drawing, or a phone scan using compass and tilt sensors. Its controls include date, time, and a Bortle sky-quality setting, with time described as local solar time. The page attributes its star data to Hipparcos and names Astronomy Engine for positions; it also lists NASA imagery, MET Norway forecasts, and OpenStreetMap address lookup.
