Proprietary Photography Weather Scoring

No more guessing standard weather apps. SkyRadar combines global atmospheric physics and astronomical algorithms to grade your shooting conditions hourly.

Sunset & Sunrise Burn Score

Calculates the probability of sunset and sunrise clouds catching vivid light by analyzing detailed cloud layer structures, horizontal visibility, and solar angles.

  • Analyses 3 cloud layers (Low, Mid, High) dynamically
  • Scans blocking clouds up to 300km away
  • Computes high-altitude 'sea of clouds' bonus index

Milky Way & Star Astro Score

Built for astrophotographers and Milky Way hunters. Evaluates the sky darkness and atmosphere transparency at your exact GPS coordinates.

  • Computes local Bortle light pollution index dynamically
  • Factors in Moon phase illumination & angular separation
  • Evaluates atmospheric transparency, seeing and local fog risk

Signature Features of SkyRadar

Designed to protect your gear and help you compose the perfect landscape shot ahead of time.

7-Day Hourly Burn & Astro Forecast Details

Plan ahead for long roadtrips. SkyRadar shows a breakdown of hourly scores, 3-tier cloud ratios, precipitation metrics, wind speeds, and potential severe hazards.

Gear Protection Assistant (Dew Point & Wind Alerts)

Protect your expensive camera lenses. SkyRadar tracks the dew point margin to send **Dew Risk** warnings, reminding you to attach a lens heater. Severe wind gusts warnings are also visible to ensure tripod stability during long exposures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about SkyRadar's calculations and setup.

How accurate are SkyRadar's photography weather forecasts?

SkyRadar processes data from 4 global models (ECMWF, ICON, GFS, JMA). Furthermore, the core scoring math is continuously calibrated against actual fieldwork photos sent by the Vietnamese photography community, making it much more reliable than generic apps.

What exactly is the Sunset & Sunrise Burn Score?

It is a 0–100 grade predicting the probability of sunset or sunrise clouds lighting up with vivid colors. A high burn score means clouds are structured perfectly to catch rays from below the horizon without being blocked by thick lower clouds or fog.

How does the Astro Score work for Milky Way shooting?

The Astro Score evaluates local conditions for starscapes and Milky Way photography. It processes cloud coverage, atmospheric transparency, Moon phase illumination & angle, galactic core position, and local Bortle light pollution index at your coordinates.

Is this photography weather app free to use?

Yes, all core maps, 3-day sunset/sunrise burn predictions, and Milky Way charts are completely free. The Pro subscription extends forecasts to 8 days, helping you plan trekking routes and photo workshops further in advance.

How do I download the mobile version of SkyRadar?

For Android devices, go to skyradar.vn/download to install the APK directly. The iOS native version is under active development; in the meantime, Safari on iOS supports the full Web App smoothly.
