Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Sebastian, an iOS developer and astrophotography hobbyist. I built DarkScout because planning a night shoot was always more annoying than it should be. Before deciding whether to drive out, I would check moon timing, darkness, clouds, weather, locations, Milky Way visibility and sometimes a few different astronomy tools. The problem was not that the data did not exist. The problem was that the decision was scattered. DarkScout tries to answer one simple question: **Is this location worth shooting tonight?** It combines moon timing, cloud/weather context, darkness windows, saved spots, Milky Way visibility, alerts, widgets and a simple planning score into one iOS app. The core app is free. PRO is $2.99/month and unlocks things like unlimited spots, 7-day planning, any-date planning, multi-spot alerts, custom thresholds, red night mode and extra planning tools. I would love feedback on three things: 1. Is the planning score clear enough? 2. Does the app explain the value quickly? 3. What would make this more useful for real night-sky planning? Thanks for checking it out.
