Sun Surveyor Lite 2.6.1

Sun Surveyor Lite is a valuable tool for photographers, filmmakers, and professionals in the solar industry, architecture, real estate, and gardening. It provides essential information about sunrise, sunset, and the magical hours, allowing users to scout the best locations, plan effectively, and capture the perfect shot.

• The 3D Compass and detailed Ephemeris offer a wealth of information about the sun's path throughout the day or year. Users can predict and plan for the golden hour, blue hour, and all sunrise and sunset moments.

With additional features like the visual time machine and twilight times (civil, nautical, astronomical), Sun Surveyor Lite allows users to quickly assess lighting conditions and achieve desired compositions. It also provides valuable tools such as solstice and equinox visualization, sun shadow information for calculating shadow length, and magnetic declination compensation.
