But I've never used the apps that predict the sunrise/sunset quality - I only know that they exist. The main (desktop) site I use is The Photographer's Ephemeris (which also has great tools for predicting eclipses), as well as same timeanddate site that you use. | |
| Jan 11 at 16:33 | comment | added | Chris H | @PeterM Sky Map will do location predictions (the option is called "Time Travel"). While I tend to plan stuff on my desktop, I'm happy enough to use that on my phone. But of course it doesn't tie into maps. So perhaps you'd like to add an answer with some of those options if you're familiar with any of them | |
| Jan 11 at 16:17 | comment | added | Peter M | There are actually websites/apps that supposedly predict the quality of the sunrise/sunset. In addition there are tools for visualizing the location of the sun/moon at any date/time. For the latter tools I have used them to predict not only when the moon would set just after the sun had risen, but also that the moon was setting directly down the center of a canyon (which turns out to be about 7AM in winter, in typically less than 20F temps. So setting up on site by 6:30) . These tools also tie into various maps, so you can see if the sun/moon are occulted by terrain. | |
