Golden and blue hour in Pilsen: all twelve months
Everything derives from the coordinates of Pilsen (49.7384, 13.3736) and the Europe/Prague timezone — no estimates. The planning-relevant part: the evening window here swings between 42 minutes in September and 57 in December — schedule "an hour" and you are wrong in both.

Fitting the window into the shoot day
The evening window is the reliable half: the crew is warmed up, the setup exists, and golden hour is the last slot before wrap. The morning window right after sunrise (until 05:50 in June) instead requires camera and lighting to be standing before sunrise — with a call well before 04:59.
After sunset, Pilsen still offers the blue hour: from 21:43 to 22:01 in June (18 minutes). If you need both looks on one evening, everything from the start of golden hour to the end of blue hour is one continuous window — with no room for a re-rig inside it.
