VR でのフォトリアルな 3D 背景: 「空をドラッグ」がフォトリアルな 3D 背景でも使えるようになりました。シーンをタップするとその場所にピントを合わせ、被写界深度の距離を確認できます。地図の割り当てを使い切ったとき、読み込みがタイムアウトしたとき、太陽画像の読み込みに失敗したときのメッセージがわかりやすくなりました。
見える雲: 地図レイヤーに新しいスイッチを追加し、カメラから実際に見える雲を表示します。カメラ周辺の各雲層、その雲層が視野に入るリング、地球の影の縁、雲が太陽を遮る位置がわかります。PlanIt Pro の雲までの距離に代わる機能です。雲層と予報モデルは地図の凡例で選びます。VR では雲が太陽、月、その他の天体の手前に描かれるようになり、地図と同じ表示ルールに従います。
Drag Sky: in the VR view, drag the Sun, Moon or stars to where you want them and the camera location moves to match, because the app finds the spot that puts them there. Place a scene pin first, because the sky moves relative to the subject.
Accurate camera height from 3D buildings: with 3D buildings on, the app probes the surface under the camera pin (open ground, roof, bridge deck or gap) and applies open ground automatically. Roofs and bridge decks are only suggested, and anything more than 15 m off the elevation model is never applied on its own.
Satellite passes: transits can now target the planets as well as the Sun and Moon, with a target filter and an unlimited-distance option. The map also draws the region where several satellites cross the Sun or Moon at the same moment, with a legend row; tap the map to aim it.
Glass Effect: the drawer, date and time panel, selection sheets and bottom sheets use frosted glass. It is on by default; turn it off or adjust the transparency in settings.
VR improvements: smoother time scrubbing, finer depth of field, a celestial pole guide at telephoto, one shot orientation shared by the map and VR, and alignment searches that aim at the refracted tip of the subject.
Service Providers: the Credentials page is now called Service Providers, and each provider has a "How to get a key" guide with numbered steps, links straight into the provider's console, and a Verify Key field that checks the key works before you rely on it.
VR below the terrain model: when your camera is confirmed below the elevation model, the whole scene is lowered to meet you. Before, only the 30 m around the camera was flattened, so the raw terrain beyond stood over your eye, filled the sky and hid a low Sun.
Aerial HUD: the frame sits inside the view, the readout runs along the side, and the simulator remembers your choices: preset, focal length, portrait, overlap and projection.
Astronomical calendar: pages step by calendar date, so a daylight-saving day no longer repeats a cell.
Cameras: further work on connecting astronomy cameras, SharpCap and ordinary cameras. Once Auto Detection is armed from PlanIt Earth you can disconnect: SharpCap watches for the aircraft transit on its own and fires the capture itself.
Exif Tool: a new card on the Photo Tools page reads a photo's camera, lens, exposure, date, location and image details; show its GPS point on the map, or load its shutter, aperture and ISO into the exposure dials.
Wide screens and foldables: the passes, transits and meteors lists, detail pages and editors open in a pane beside the home map instead of covering it, and the map stays live. The divider drags and its position is remembered; on a foldable the fold is the default split line.
Elevation circles: a new map overlay draws elevation and azimuth rings around your pin while you drag the time.
Night Lights: the annual VIIRS composite has its own year picker, independent of the light-pollution layer's.
Model outlines: models with an unusually large footprint, long bridges especially (their outer silhouette hides the useful spans), now draw structural lines, and draw far faster.
Google 3D buildings: better detail, streaming and performance in the viewfinder.
VR terrain elevation: in satellite and relief terrain modes the terrain no longer fills the sky until the camera elevation is touched. The scene is now built for the same eye height it is viewed from.
VR towers: towers mapped with separate part heights now draw at their real height instead of their podium's.
Camera connection: more bodies are recognized on the USB bus, and one that cannot be driven is named in the unsupported list instead of appearing blank.
Updates: the app asks the App Store what version it is serving, so an update is offered exactly when it goes live.
App icon: the macOS icon now carries the rounded tile Apple's icon grid expects.
Sign-in and device seats: improved sign-in across phones, computers and the web, with clearer handling of which devices occupy a PlanIt+ seat.
Telephoto VR terrain: distant terrain now retains more elevation and imagery detail for a sharper view of far peaks.
Astronomical calendars: dedicated legends now explain Moon phases and crescent visibility, moonless and Milky Way darkness, aurora Kp levels, and weather symbols.
Astronomical events: event rows now show clearer Sun, Moon, Milky Way Center and Milky Way arch elevation and direction information.
Imported 3D models: map outlines preserve more bridge arches, curves and structural detail while remaining responsive with complex models.
Camera and scene pins: each pin sheet now has a Move control for repositioning the camera or subject independently with precise directional adjustments.
Custom satellites: add, edit and search your own satellites by pasting standard three-line TLE data.
Astronomical calendar: recognizable event symbols replace generic dots, and Galaxy Eye results now require true astronomical darkness with the Moon beneath the Milky Way arch.
Light pollution preview: calibrated local sky brightness now controls the skyglow dome, VR sky colour, visible stars and Milky Way, building illumination and exposure guidance.
Panorama calculator: overlap choices now extend from 15% through 65%, including 45%, 55%, 60% and 65%.
Astronomy camera controls: exposure and gain adjustments remain responsive while the camera catches up, and shutter swipes reliably start interval shooting or recording.
USB astronomy cameras: supported ZWO and Player One cameras now provide live preview, exposure controls, replay buffering and SER recording.
Astronomy camera recordings: choose and remember the recording folder, including an external drive where the platform supports it.
Replay buffer: the buffer now recovers after a preview restart, camera reconnect or ROI change, so pre-trigger frames remain available.
SharpCap bridge: replay-buffer and detector settings stay synchronized, with a clearer start flow and more reliable authorized sessions.
Google 3D Tiles: configure a free Cesium ion account as an alternative source; this option is no longer limited to administrators.
Camera direction: when the angle-of-view fan is hidden, an arrow on the map still shows where the camera points.
Sky Search: the selected year range is remembered and restored before the first search, and the active range is shown directly in the controls.
Sun, Moon and sky lines: extended map rays now follow the exact local bearing at the shooting position, including on a rotated map.
Markers with 3D models: while moving a marker, choose whether its model moves with it or stays fixed, so the marker and model can be positioned separately.
Sony Camera Remote: interval shooting in Camera + Computer mode waits until each photograph has actually transferred before advancing, reducing missed captures when the camera is busy.
Depth of field: decimal focus distances can now be entered without the in-progress decimal point being removed.
Initial release: PlanIt Earth, the next generation of the PlanIt planning app, built on the PlanIt Pro and PlanIt Live foundation with support for multiple platforms.
Photorealistic VR viewfinder.
Pro modules: night, timelapse, celestial alignment, aerospace & weather.
Smart auto shooting for perfectly timed moments.
VR viewfinder: real terrain and horizon built from elevation data and satellite imagery, photoreal city backgrounds with Google 3D Tiles, Street View and your own photos, live depth-of-field preview, aerial view and immersive full screen.
AR viewfinder: overlay the Sun, Moon, Milky Way, stars and your markers on the live camera to frame the shot on site.
Sun, Moon and sky: sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, golden hour, blue hour, twilight and astronomical darkness, Sun and Moon direction, altitude and paths, plus stars, planets, constellations, meteor showers, comets, eclipses, rainbows and moonbows.
Milky Way: Galactic Center direction, visibility and realistic placement in the sky, with Milky Way Seeker to find the best dates and locations.
Alignment planning: find where and when the Sun or Moon lines up with your subject, and search the sky across years for the conditions you want.
Shoot planning: sequences, multi-day shoots and time-lapses on a key-frame timeline, exposure guides for eclipses, star trails and the Milky Way, and calculators for depth of field, panorama, ND filters, star trails and height, distance and elevation measurement.
Telescope rig control: drive a supported equatorial mount, an electronic focuser and an astronomy camera straight from the phone over Wi-Fi or USB, or through the SharpCap bridge on a PC. Many models are still untested against real hardware, so check the behaviour with your own gear before leaving a session unattended.
Planning map: camera and scene pins with direction lines, multiple map providers, terrain, light-pollution and aurora overlays, location search, saved markers and 3D models, and recorded or imported tracks.
Offline regions: map, elevation and markers downloaded ahead of time, so scouting, previewing and planning keep working with no signal.
Weather and field conditions: photographer-focused forecasts for cloud, visibility, fog, wind, humidity, frost and dust, plus tides, waves, aurora forecasts and space-weather alerts.
Aerospace: ISS and satellite passes, aircraft transits across the Sun or Moon, rocket launches, and an alarm for an upcoming transit.
Plans and account: save a complete plan with map position, pins, time and shooting setup, save shots inside it, and sign in to sync plans, markers, tracks and settings across your devices.
