Dark Zone Mobile App

For Android & iOS

Dark Zone is a simple app for Android & iOS that allows you to convert a sky brightness measurement to other useful units of measure:

MPSAS - magnitude per square arc second
NELM - naked eye limiting magnitude
Mcdpsm - Millicandelas per square meter
color as defined in The New World Atlas of Artificial Sky Brightness (2016, Falchi et al)

Dark Zone is a handy companion that you can use with Unihedron's Sky Quality Meter, and Knightware's SQM Reader and SQM Reader Pro desktop software.

Dark Zone technical support is available here.
