Golden hour, blue hour, civil, nautical and astronomical twilight and solar noon for any date and pin, so landscape and astro sessions start on time.
Frequently asked questions
What is golden hour?
The window when the Sun is roughly 6° above to 4° below the horizon, giving warm directional light for landscape work.
Does equatorial twilight stay short?
Yes. Near Guyana the Sun dives steeply, so blue hour is brief compared with mid-latitudes. Arrive early.
What are civil, nautical and astronomical twilight?
Twilight stages end when the Sun is 6°, 12° and 18° below the horizon. In Georgetown it takes about 69 to 77 minutes from sunset to full astronomical darkness, depending on the season.
