Aurora Scanner combines live space-weather data with hourly cloud cover and darkness for your destination, then tells you what helps or limits your chance tonight. NOAA OVATION oval, hourly map, trip planning.
Hi Product Hunt, Kurt here from Netkreatives bv in Belgium.
Aurora Scanner is now on the App Store. A high Kp number doesn't help if it's cloudy or still light outside. Aurora Scanner keeps aurora activity, cloud, darkness and moonlight separate, so you can see what's actually limiting your chance.
What it does:
A verdict for tonight, the main limiting factor and the best viewing window
Latest NOAA OVATION aurora image and live solar imagery
Forecast map you can step through hour by hour
Trip dates, saved viewing places and pinned locations to compare
Kp, solar wind, Bz, hemispheric power, with freshness labels on data
Pricing: Free with in-app purchases.
If you've chased the aurora before, tell me what you'd want the app to tell you first. Thanks for taking a look!
