Plan your next photo adventure
Shutter Speed plans your shoot and tells you what the sky and weather will do.
Shutter Speed is a planning toolkit for photographers, videographers, and astrophotographers. Save and revisit shoot locations, get a quick read on whether tonight is worth shooting from sun, moon, eclipse, meteor shower, and aurora highlights, and check live weather, tides, and lens-fogging risk before you leave. Built so the guesswork happens at your desk, not on set.

Plan your shoot locations on a map with images, notes and lists. Track shoot conditions, such as the sun, golden hour, tides, moon phase, aurora, Milky Way, weather and more.
Planning
Conditions
- WeatherLive weather station readout for your location: temperature, wind, pressure, humidity, and more, with at-a-glance shooting-condition tags for photographers.
- TidesToday's tide times and heights from real NOAA station data where available, or a rough offline estimate elsewhere.
- Lens Fog RiskEstimates whether current humidity and temperature carry meaningful lens/gear fogging risk, based on live dew-point data for your location.
Astrophotography
- Sun TimesGolden Hour, Blue Hour, and Civil/Nautical/Astronomical Twilight times for your location.
- Moon PhaseCheck tonight's moon phase, or any date. Useful for planning dark-sky astrophotography.
- Star TrailsLongest exposure before stars visibly trail on a fixed tripod, by the quick 500 Rule or the precise NPF Rule.
- Milky Way VisibilityForecast moon-free nights when the Milky Way core is visible above the horizon during astronomical dark.
- EclipsesSee upcoming lunar and solar eclipses, and whether they’ll be visible from your location.
- Aurora VisibilityEstimate the Kp index needed to see aurora from your location, and tonight’s dark-sky window.
- Comet TrackerSee upcoming comet apparitions with their expected peak brightness and viewing notes.
