About

Built by people who love the southern sky.

The best planning tools were always built for the northern hemisphere. We built one for ours.

Southern Astro started on a freezing winter night in Tekapo, fumbling with three different apps to figure out when the Milky Way core would clear the mountains. We thought: the southern sky deserves a dedicated, beautiful, beginner-friendly planning home.

Today the app helps stargazers and photographers across New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Argentina and South Africa decide where and when to head out — combining moon, weather, galactic core position and aurora forecasts in one place.

For everyone

Beginner-friendly explanations alongside pro-grade data.
