Description

+ FEATURED IN ASTRONOMY MAGAZINE + Get away from the citys bright glow and head out to dark skies, where the Milky Way shines with countless stars overhead. Dark Sky Finder helps you locate nearby dark skies to take a telescope, watch a meteor shower, or simply relax under the stars. See light pollution maps of the ENTIRE WORLD, along with dots that indicate good observing locations. Anyone can add a good observation site — for instance, a public park with no bright lights — and write a few words about it to help other people in the area looking for a dark location. ** KEY FEATURES ** • Light Pollution Map: Overlaid on top of the standard map, satellite, or hybrid. Covers the entire world. • Dark Sites: Escape to dark skies in over 1,000 locations worldwide. Includes user reviews, directions, and information on sky conditions, important notes, parking, fees, bathrooms, camping, weather, and much more. • Add a Dark Site: Make a contribution by adding a dark site for everyone to enjoy. • Clear Sky Charts: Finds the nearest Clear Sky Chart to pull in information on transparency, seeing, and other conditions relevant to telescope observers. • Bortle Scale: Tap on the map legend to toggle between the Bortle Scale and basic scale. Read more about the Bortle Scale for measuring light pollution in the About tab. ** SUPPORT & FEEDBACK ** Send an email to [email protected] for support or to give feedback on the app. Feedback is always appreciated!

Hello Canada Eh?

lancetay · 13 years ago · v1.0

As a member of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada I purchased this app to see if light pollution data and information was provided for any of our Dark Sky preserves and observing sites. And of course there is none. Hope you fix that soon. Updated Review: After looking through the Light Polution settings I was able to load some data from 1997 for Canada. Not exactly current but it was a good representation. It also had our Blackfoot Observing site in Alberta as well. I will user contribute more sites soon as it is missing some of our Dark Sky Preserves. I do like how it links to Clear Sky Clock too. So overall - Nicely Done.

Apparently Canada is not part of North America

Jgrimmier87 · 13 years ago · v1.0

Bought this app specifically for use in Canada. App advertised having a light pollution map for north America, however it only extends 200km into my area of Canada. Incomplete and only worth it if you live in the continental US.

Cool app, but Canada is in North America

Bond. · 13 years ago · v1.0

False app description. Ill update my rating once the rest of Canada is included.

Canadian Coverage Limited

Meester Kyle · 13 years ago · v1.0

This app does not have any coverage in Canada north of 50-deg latitude.

I missed these reviews . . .

Zippeee · 13 years ago · v1.0

Yeah, Im another Canadian and I guess Ill have to wait for more updates. I hope this is fixed soon. Otherwise it seems pretty good.

Canada?????

Bill from Canada · 13 years ago · v1.0

WOW!!!! - when did Canada fall out of North America? I guess plate tectonics have been more active than I was aware of! I better go back to the app to see if California survived. Bill
