Great tool!

I noticed sky conditions at my observing locations varied and I wanted to test this, and was looking for a tool. This app performs very nicely and I see the variability quantified according to a standard scale. Also developer very friendly and helpful. I’m going to use this to map out all my observing locations. Well done.

Love this app

This app along with info on their web site is a real boon. In my experience it is quite accurate and useful in comparing observing sites. However it appears it saves only your most recent recordings which is too bad. Also until just recently it has a second benefit of reporting local predicted seeing and transparency as now I cannot get it to report. It has been a great app! I very much hope it is not on its way out. Get this app and support a very useful tool!

Measure the Night Dky

Dark Sky Meter is the first app for iPhone to allow users to accurately measure the brightness of the night sky. Amateur astronomers and dark sky advocates are likely familiar with the Sky Quality Meter (SQM) device. This app gives you an SQM in your phone and for the 4S and 5 gives very accurate results without having to buy an SQM. The app is well worth the purchase price.
