DSO Twilight Calculator

DSO Twilight - Calculates for the current date:

  • Rise, Transit, and Set time for Sun and Moon.
  • Moon phase.
  • Civil, Nautical, and Astronomical twilight time.
  • Periods (time intervals) of the darkest sky through the night and for 30 days ahead. The calculation algorithm for periods of maximal darkness takes into account the Moon’s rise/set/phase data. Rotate your device into landscape orientation for more comfortable view of the darkest periods data.
