When it comes to light pollution and identifing dark places, which application (and websites) do you use do you use and which are the must have features for you personally when it comes prescouting places and co?
Are there any features you wish every application would have but doesn't and which features are overrated?
What don't you like about the current applications and websites?
E.g. features I would like are
- Statistics about light pollution. As far as I know only one application offers this kind of feature.
- 3D views of specific areas with high ligh pollution. Maybe some could use it for scientific purposes?
- Global database of famous star gazing spots.
Do you think these features would make sense?
The reason I'm asking is on the one hand cause I'm kinda overwhelmed choosing something that suits me.
On the other hand I'm planning to build my own application which focuses on building a free version which offers great features and not using some paywall with features nobody uses.
Feel free to give an honest opinion, I want to receive feedback - positive and negativeEVERY input is appreciated.

I am using www.lightpollutionmap.info to get an info on the best I could get there. I use an Eagle5Pro from Primaluce Lab as my computer and this has a sky eye built in. Depending on the direction the teleskop ( and so the sky eye ) I get a different Bortle class. So best I can get at home is Bortle 4, if it's just night and I point my telescope towards the sky above my town, I get a Bortle 7 detected.
So the map is still good, albeit it shows 8 years old data, but there are many other things to consider.
@Brian Diaz This project sounds cool, is this open to anyone? Would be interesting to combine my sky eye data with the mount data and Eagle's Inclinometer to calculate the line of light when measuring the light pollution.

I use it as an IOS app off the same name (the one made by Jurij Stare) and it has a variety of map overlays to choose from. The youngest data is from 2022. The app works great.

Thank you very much. I'll check the app out! Are the some features, that the app might lack or is it enough for beginners for me? Do you have every feature you need? @pete_xl |

Hi Fischi, I only meant that the light pollution depends on many things, the maps don't show you the real value, mostly the best you can get. If the huminity is high, or you're framing into a shallow angle or get some other reflections, or of course the moon is bright.
