Moon shot planning
Check if the Moon will actually enter your frame.
Find a day worth heading out for, check whether the frame will actually work, save the plan - and come back to it when it matters. Less guessing, more shots that line up.

Guessing costs you a trip. Planning takes a few minutes.
If you've ever arrived on location only to find the Moon rising in the wrong place, trees blocking your subject, or the spot making no sense at all, you already know how much guessing can cost.
Without a plan
- you check the Moon phase in one app
- calculate the azimuth in another
- look at terrain and obstacles separately on a map
- drive out hoping it all lines up
- and on site you find the shot doesn't work
With Lunar Frame
- you point at the subject you want to photograph
- the app shows where and when the alignment works
- you pick the date and observation spot
- you save the plan - it stays put after you close the tab
- you head out to the spot with a specific plan - no guessing along the way
- you come back to the app and see what's live today and what's still open
- you log the outcome after the shoot - the plan stays with you for next time
Less guessing, more shots that actually work. A plan you come back to.

From an idea to a plan that stays with you
1
Find a good day
The calendar, the year matrix, and upcoming days show which dates make sense - before you dive into the details.
2
Plan the frame
Pick the spot, the subject, and the lens. Check the terrain profile and the frame view - verify the shot actually works from your position.
3
Save the plan
The plan stays with you - it doesn't disappear when you close the tab. You come back to it whenever you want, and if needed, you can share a lighter setup.
4
Come back when it matters
The session hub shows what's live today and what's still open. After the shoot you log the outcome - the plan stays with you for next time.
Four things you'll plan in Lunar Frame
From lining up the full moon behind a chosen subject to checking terrain, obstacles, and the actual frame view - all in one workflow.
The Moon exactly behind your subject
Full moon behind a church, a crescent over a bridge, or the Moon above a hilltop. You pick the target and the app shows when and from where the shot makes sense.
The Sun where you need it
Sunrise behind a monument, light between buildings, sunset down the axis of a street. You check exactly when and from where you'll catch the right direction.
Terrain, obstacles, and real visibility
Before you head out, you can evaluate the terrain profile, obstacles, and what could actually block the shot.
A plan you come back to
Save the plan - it stays with you. You come back, see what's live today, log the outcome after the shoot. Over time the plan becomes a record of what actually worked.
A tool that helps you plan, not guess
Open data and transparent sources
Maps from OpenStreetMap, terrain from AWS, astronomy from astronomy-engine. Everything based on proven, open sources.
Account optional, no third-party trackers
You need no account to plan - one only helps when you want your plans on several devices. No ad profiles are built, and analytics runs on our own infrastructure - no external ad platforms involved.
Ready for fieldwork
