Blue hour and shooting windows
Blue hour in Tashkent starts at 20:19 in June and ends at 20:32 — a window of 13 minutes. In December it is 12 minutes from 17:15. If you need a city view with lit windows, that window is all you get.
Sunset moves fastest around the equinoxes: between March (18:29) and September (18:35) there are 6 minutes of difference. A schedule running over several weeks cannot work from one fixed "sunset" time.
Planning a shoot here
A schedule that ignores these numbers looks fine on paper and falls over on the day. TillyGen folds sun position, travel and crew availability straight into the schedule — if the exterior no longer fits before sunset in December, the plan says so, not the wrap report.
