Planning a moonrise behind a lighthouse or the sun setting over a distant peak? You need the bearing from your camera to the subject. Enter two points to get the distance, the initial and final bearing and the midpoint.
How to use the Bearing & Distance Calculator
- Enter your camera position and the subject.
- Use the bearing with the sun & moon map or solar alignment finder.
FAQ
Why does the bearing change along the way?
Great-circle routes curve on a flat map, so initial and final bearings differ over long distances.
