The Field Guide

How to use Almanox

Almanox answers one question - is tonight worth heading out, and if so, where, when, and how. This guide walks through every part: reading the verdict, planning the Milky Way, lining up a sun or moon shot, the photo maths, and finding truly dark skies.

First Light

Getting started in three taps

1

Pick your spot

Almanox uses your location, or add any place by name. Every reading - times, verdict, Milky Way - is computed for exactly where you stand.

2

Read the verdict

Open Tonight for a single 0-100 score that fuses darkness, moon, Milky Way height and cloud into one honest answer.

3

Plan the shot

Scrub the day on Today, line up an alignment on Plan, and jot what you shot in your journal - it remembers, per place, per night.

Chapters

Every feature, in depth

Each chapter is a deep dive with the exact readouts, what they mean, and how to act on them.
