# LightScout – Sun, Moon & Light Planner for Photographers
LightScout helps photographers plan the perfect shot by putting essential light information directly on their Garmin watch.
Whether you're photographing landscapes, architecture, cityscapes, seascapes or wildlife, LightScout lets you quickly understand where the sun and moon will be relative to your subject—without taking out your phone.
## Plan Better Images
Simply acquire your current GPS location, point your watch towards your subject and lock the direction. LightScout then shows how the sun and moon will move relative to that subject throughout the day.
Use the planner to step forwards through time or move to different days to discover when the light will be exactly where you want it.
