As a newbie to milky way photography, this was brilliant thanks. I saw another milky way planning video you did on location at the lighthouse, which was really comprehensive. I recommend watching both - the location one does just that, plan to shoot from where you are standing, but this one is good too as it shows what most of us do, planning at home.

Thank you so much, this is such a brilliant video - you've explained everything so clearly, massive help! Quick question - what does the bar next to the milky way icon at the top of the screen mean? Is it visibility? ie the lower number of bars means the less you'll be able to see it?

@PhotoPills 3 года назад

It's linked to the Moon phase. When the bar it's full it's new Moon. When it's empty, it's full Moon.

@elisebernier2293 2 года назад

Hey guys, I just bought your app it looks great! One question tho, on the visibility GC says " always invisible " even if I tried different location, could you tell me why ? Thank you.

@PhotoPills 2 года назад

Hi Élise! Welcome to the tribe! If you're at a latitude above 55º it might be never night time. So we say GC never visible. Something that might not be true, because the GC can be visible during the Astronomical Twilight. So I'd use the Milky Way arch on the map to plan a photo and try to capture. Experiment in the light conditions you have where you live.

@arniet1 Год назад

This was great thanks, but I have a query. My location in Northern England doesn't have an optimal date or month where I'm likely to see the Milky Way core above the horizon. I checked between Feb and Oct. The best chance when the core is highest, might've been June but a full moon is crossing right in front! Typical

@PhotoPills Год назад

Shoot it around new Moon in June or July :)

@kernowcoasteering 2 года назад

Just got the app - loving it. Great video too, I'll be sure to watch more. One question: When I tap the milky way icon, it goes back in time , showing previous new moons, rather then forward. how do I change this, please?

@PhotoPills 2 года назад

Welcome to the tribe! If you tap once it goes forward. If you double tap, it goes backwards :)

Hi PhotoPills I just got the app Thanks for the fantastic video The location I want to take a photo of has a light tower on an island and I can only be on the south side... is the grey line always facing south throughout the year? Thanks

@PhotoPills 2 года назад

Hey! The Galactic center of the Milky Way moves from south-east to south west directions through out the year. But for example, from February to May its a great time to shoot a pano of the milky way (shooting north) with the Galactic center almost in the east. If you follow the steps I explain in the video, you'll be able to plan your Milky Way shots :)

@normanrehme3836 3 года назад

Hello Rafael, thank you for this great tutorial. I am just learning Milky Way Photography and have a question. I am going out to the Utah Canyons and unfortunately my travel days will be close to a full moon. Is there a trick to capturing the Milky Way during a full moon? Thank you

@PhotoPills 2 месяца назад

Cool cool! The issue during full moon is that the Moon is pretty close to the Core. But you can definitely get some Milky Way too. I'd shoot a double exposure (one for the stars) and then one for the Moon... to use them later on post to build something similar to what you see with your eyes. We need to write a guide on MW + Moon... But our current MW guide will help you too: www.photopills.com/articles/milky-way-photography-guide

Hi Raphael .. Wonderful. However i find a place to my photograph near a river and a house. this will happens in a place that i put with the red pin. after search for BRaga in Portugal. The milk way happens at 13/february 2021 at 19.55. However it's almost near the darker grey .. I think I have to change the spot of the red pin. But this will, put me in the water..... Can I see how the milky way and the galatic center will appear in AR Night? And to where should i have to pois my Olympus to shoot the milky way...??? Thanks a lot... All the best for you and all the team at 2021 and thanks for this video...

@PhotoPills 3 года назад

The map is best to plan the MW since you see the Arch relative to the Red Pin. The Night AR is great when you're in the field :)

@apfotografie8879 Год назад

Hello, thanks for the information how to plan the shoot it helps so much! But I have a question and hope you can help me :) the pills app shows that on a day X in an area, the centre of the milkyway is visible from " 4:54 rise until 5:36 3.5°." How can i find out, if the mountains, that I focus on, are too high so they will cover the centre of the milkyway at 3.5° or not? Sorry for my bad english and thank you very much in advance! :)

@PhotoPills Год назад

Hey! Place the Black Pin (tap the button on panel 2 above the map) on the Mountain! And Panel 2 will give you the height of the MW above it. Also, if you go in the field, you can use the Night AR view :)

@StellaDavila 2 года назад

How do you know when you are exactly on the red pin? Is there a blue dot 🔵 indicating your gps position when you are there?

Very good question Stella. Tap the "+" map button and then the 4th button from the right (arrow head) to switch on your position on the map (blue circle).

I see that a shot I want to take is during a full moon. However, the moon is at -20 degree elevation. Does this mean I can still take the shot? Or will the light from the moon still be too much?

If the Moon has a negative elevation it means it's below te horizon. So no impact on the night sky.

@michael_anthony 3 года назад

what do the blue bars next to the milky way symbol mean?

@PhotoPills 3 года назад

It's linked to the Moon phase. When it's full, it's new moon. And then decreases based on the phase of the Moon. In the future we'd like to linked it depending on the hours the Moon is below the horizon when the MW is visible.

How do we plan for Milkyway panaroma.. I mean if I have to plan for a shot where this lighthouse is in the middle of arch. How far do I need to be from the lighthouse to shoot the panaroma.

@PhotoPills 4 года назад

Follow the same workflow to plan the panorama. Just choose a shooting spot where your subject is placed right at the center of the Milky Way arch. How far or close you are from your subject will depend on the composition you want, on how big you want your subject in the photo. Don't worry too much. Decide how you wish to capture your subject in the photo and choose your shooting spot. In the field, you'll have time to get closer or away from your subject to adjust the compo too.

Hey man! I'm from Norway, and in my PhotoPills it says that the milky way will always be invisible, whatever what date I set the planner to. Why is it saying that?

@PhotoPills 4 года назад

Hi Eirik! The app says the Galactic Center is not visible, not the Milky Way. The Galactic Center is the brightest part of the Milky Way and it's not visible from latitudes higher than 56º North, and that's probably your case. However, you can actually shoot part of the core and the Milky Way. You'll see that we draw the Milky Way on the map. You can shoot the Milky Way during the night, you can check when the astronomical twilight ends with the app.

You can Photograph the Milky Way everyday at night. The absence of the grey lines it means that the Galactic center is below the horizon.

Thank you, new friend. Happy to subscribe to you. I am new to photography and recently purchased a Panasonic GH5. I have Photo Pills and looking forward to learning how to use my camera and take some great photographs of the stars. I did take a few test photos of the moon a week ago and published them in my Instagram here: instagram.com/ispikeaustralia/?hl=en Much friendly love to you mate. Cheers from Western Australia

Do a singe tap. You are probably double tapping. One tap goes towards. Double tap backwards

You frustrate me . I do not understand you when you speak so quickly. I have tried using text for hard of hearing (which I am) but you just explain way too quickly. I’m a newbie at Photo Pills and I get really upset when I can’t understand something that should be easy.

Hi Suzy, I know I have to improve. But youtube gives you the option to slow down the video. Give it a try. Also, in this photography guide you'll find a full Milky Way planning section: www.photopills.com/articles/milky-way-photography-guide
