Golden and blue hour in Tromsø: all twelve months
Everything derives from the coordinates of Tromsø (69.6492, 18.9553) and the Europe/Oslo timezone — no estimates. The planning-relevant part: the evening window here swings between 79 minutes in September and 150 in May — 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 02:59 in June) instead requires camera and lighting to be standing before sunrise — with a call well before null.
After sunset, Tromsø still offers the blue hour: from null to null in June (null 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.
Frequently asked

How accurate are the times?
To about one minute (standard NOAA-style solar computation). Not included: horizon shading from buildings or hills to the west — which can genuinely shorten the window at your location.
