Most of the tools I list here will be available on any platform – but I don’t promise that they will be free.įor basic sunrise/sunset, moonrise/moonset, moon phase and Milky Way visibility I primarily use PhotoPills and The Photographer’s Ephemeris (TPE). I am also willing to pay for apps that I believe provide good value. I do most of my work on Windows PCs and Android phones.
In this post I will list some of the tools that I use and show how I used them to plan some recent images. To make it work I need to figure out when those things will line up, when the sky will be dark enough to see the stars, and how much light will I want on the landscape, all while also keeping track of the weather and sometimes tides.
My goal is often to try to line up something in the sky (usually the Milky Way) with a landscape scene. I hadn’t thought about it for a while, but there can be a lot that goes into it if you have a particular image in mind. While presenting a recent night sky image to our photography club at work this week, I was asked a lot of questions about how to plan those kinds of shots.
