Taaramayam
A minimal stargazing companion
built for people who love the night sky
but also love not being confused.
No accounts. No ads. No tracking.
Just you, the sky, and tonight's cast of cosmic characters.
What it does
Weather that actually matters
Cloud cover, wind, humidity, rain chance, and a dew warning before it fogs your eyepiece.
The moon situation
Phase, illumination, moonrise and moonset. Because a 90% moon at 9 PM is a session killer.
When does it actually get dark?
Sunset is not dark. A colour-coded twilight bar shows exactly when the sky stops cheating.
Is the atmosphere behaving?
Seeing and transparency from 7timer.info. High seeing = stars that look like points, not blobs.
How bad is your sky?
Bortle scale auto-detected from your location from pristine dark site to inner-city soup.
Where the planets are right now
Mercury through Saturn, live altitude and compass direction for any hour you pick.
40+ things to actually look at
Stars, clusters, nebulae, galaxies, double stars each with live altitude for your location.
ISS the fast-moving dot
Pass times, max elevation, and whether it's actually visible or hiding in Earth's shadow.
Night mode that means it
Full red, everywhere. Your eyes spent 30 minutes dark-adapting don't waste it on a white screen.
