The Nightmap is a free, community-driven atlas of trusted dark-sky spots for stargazing, astrophotography, and astro-tourism.
Check out the live aurora and weather overlays, Milky Way visibility, and community pins — all on one map designed for astrophotography and stargazing.
Visit respectfully: stay low-key near properties (including farms) and leave no trace.
Quick start
Toggle layers from the map controls, then tap a location to see detailed sky brightness, rise/set times, and shareable permalinks.
Stay informed
Open “What’s new” for the latest data sources, new overlays, and feature drops added to the map.
Community driven
Submit trusted spots, see bounties that need verification, and keep the atlas sharp for fellow night chasers.
