I got the app only because of this excellent tutorial. Without this tutorial it would be extremely difficult to use the app. Keep up the good work guys!!!
Wow! Thank you George! :D You can send us an e-mail to info@photopills.com if you have any question or problem using the app ;)
Yes totally agree finally a company standing by there product as it’s the best I’ve seen. And the more talking is great as it covers so much. Don’t shorten them as better than buying a book to get maybe not as good explained version. Everyone in to much of a rush these days. Lol. 👍🇦🇺📸🎞
Great tutorial, until you have to present something as complex as this yourself, you don’t really appreciate how much effort went into this tutorial. Fantastic, methodical, logical explanation. Well presented and easy to understand. This is my go to video..... the app itself has loads of features, but loving the app so much. Can’t wait until travel in not restricted anymore. Muchas Garcia’s PhotoPills equipo.
Muchas gracias Brian :)
2 years after this video and I'm on the app and most of it has made sense to follow along. Extremely helpful app, I'm excited to use it more accurately and completely now.
Thank you!
What a great presentation of a complicated topic. Thanks!
Can't thank you enough for developing this app!
I love you too!
This is exactly the video I have been looking for. Feeling very inspired to try this out using the planner properly this time! I’ve been using it for years just guessing where the shot might be… this is a game changer!
Yeah! Thanks so much Antonia!
Great presentation. If you're new to PhotoPills it's a great way to get into the detail of what the app can do. Plans in progress; I can't wait for the Milky Way season to arrive!
Looking forward to seeing some of your shots! Don't hesitate to enter the PhotoPills Awards with some of them :) www.photopills.com/awards
What an amazing app!! Great work guys!
Thank you! :)
What a fantastic app. I got this on my iphone and I have been playing with it for a while. Amazing! Photographing Milky way is soooo easy with this app in your hand! I can't wait to head out this spring and summer and click some nice Milky way shots!! Thanks for creating a life saving app for astrophotographers!
Wow, thank you for your kind words :D Don't hesitate to send some of you shots to the PhotoPills Awards ;) photopills.com/awards
Amazing tutorial. Well done. Now I know how to use it.
Thank you!
Brilliant! I understand it enough to go out and practice with it! Thank you!
Good good!
I just bought and installed PhotoPills, so far I've checked the DOF feature, and it is way better than the app I've been using. My 7DMRKII is on the very extensive list of cameras, and I find this tool very easy to use. I will be getting into the planner next, as I think it is the most powerful feature of the app. The app is world class, hope you guys sell millions of copies.
Thank you Arnie! If you have any question don't hesitate to send us an email to info@photopills.com :)
Just purchased the app based on this video. I really like how you have taken the time to explain step-by-step how to plan and compose your shot.
Thank you so much!
Steve
Thank you Steven! Don't hesitate to send us an email to info@photopills.com if you have any question :)
I've just downloaded this, looked at it, and thought there is NO way I'll ever understand it. This tutorial has explained everything really well!! Thank you!
That's the spirit! We'll keep recording and publishing more videos this year. We know the learning curve is a bit steep at the beginning, and this video help a lot to master it faster :)
Great app and well explained. Also, thanks for developing an Android version. It was worth the wait!
Thank you!
Great Video, easy to understand and enjoyed how you presented finding different compositions. Just purchased the app and tomorrow will plan my shot for the "super moon" on monday. Cheers.
Thank you! Looking forward to seeing your photo :D
I have just seen this for the first time - absolutely 100% brilliant AND very helpful - thank you for your skill and presentation.
Thanks so much Toby!
I've been really impressed with Sun Scout for the AR views for locating the sun's position but PhotoPills is a totally mind-blowing app. You guys are geniuses!
This has got to be one of the best instructive videos explaining what is quite a tricky subject. Nice job!
I get across to Mallorca every year to shoot a few weddings but haven't made it across to Menorca. One day!
Thanks a lot Graham for your kind words. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any question about how to use the app or if you ever come to Menorca :)
Graham try going from Guatemala to Guatapeor, it is unreal.
This is so cool, thank you for such an amazing tool and excellent tutorial!
Thank you!!
I really enjoyed that ! Cant wait to get my first planner going...
Thanks! Imagine. Plan. Shoot :)
So underrated video. Amazing explanation and app. Thanks!
Thanks so much Nuran!
Thank you. It was an excellent video.
Thanks!
Great stuff guys, really well done. Can't wait to wake up at 2:00 AM next new moon to shoot the milky way in the magic spot! ;)
Thank you! Let's hope for clear skies then :)
One of my biggest dreams in photography is to find and shoot Milky Way) After this great tutorial I got the app and now in the planning) Hope to get it still in July.Unf.Moscow has lots of light pollutions and probably I need to be 150km away... I've heard something about exposure to the right technology in LR to get a shot in place with big pollution...
Hi Dmitri! For the latitude of Moscow you'll have to wait until September to be able to capture the Milky Way. During summer you always have too much residual light from the light that dims the Milky Way. Too many hours of light hehe. This article will help you to capture the Milky Way: www.photopills.com/articles/how-shoot-truly-contagious-milky-way-pictures
And this one will give you some tips to shoot it in light-polluted skies: www.justinngphoto.com/2014/05/16/how-i-photograph-the-milky-way-from-light-polluted-skies-of-singapore/
Hope it helps! :)
I sincerely apologize. I’ve since dived-in and found the app to be extremely useful, even inspirational. My initial difficulty with it stemmed from exactly what you had warned about: trying to do too much, too fast. Once you break it down into a series of discreet steps and actions it becomes much clearer how to achieve the results you’re looking for. I still have much to learn, but now consider it an incredible bargain and have enthusiastically recommended it to fellow shooters. Hope that makes up for my earlier intemperate comments. 😊
Divide and conquer! :) thanks for the feedback Michael!
This is such a powerful app. I couldn't figure our how to properly use it...but these video are amazing thank you!!!
Gracias Carlos! Seguiremos mejorando :)
Hey, first off - the work that must have gone into this app is amazing! When you are doing the AR view, does it use your GPS position, or the shooting pin position for the calculations?
In the Planner, it's the Red Pin Position. In the Sun, Moon and Night AR pills, it's your gps position.
this is an incredible product! Wonder when you are shooting so close to the ocean, do you take the tides in to account. Would hate to be all set up and have the tide come in!! Great tutorial!! Hopefully we can all get back out and travel safely to new locations again, soon!! Stay safe and thanks!
Thank you! We'd love to add tides in the future :)
It was realy helpfull,thank you.
Thanks so much!
cant wait to use it. this app could be the best photoapp by far.
+Mr. Andric Thank you! Don't hesitate to contact us at info@photopills.com if you have any question about how to use the app :)
Great video presentation and tutorial. Thanks
Thank you!
13:41 please dont do that ever again ;D
lol! You're right!
Ahhaahahahhahahaha
Can someone please explain😂😂😂
@@victorhopewave He made a nazi sign with his hand :D
Did he say « very HEIL in the sky »? 😂
This is freaking amazing!! Building house in NC USA with west view. Used this and will get amàzing long range shots with MW above the mountain range. Assume a composite and it will be fantastic. Need star tracker (which was or discussed or expected) but small investment to get shot. This app is unbelievable help in planning. You are a genius!
Thanks a lot Tom! Imagine.Plan.Shoot! :)
Great video and app. I feel excited to use this app and get some beautiful milky way galaxy photos.
Thank you.
Thanks!! Looking forward to seeing some of your shots :) You can enter the PhotoPills Awards if you want photopills.com/awards
Just bought the app. Can't wait to plan my first milky way shot. I can't even quantify how much work this app will save me, but I can tell you I would probably quit trying if I had to do all this work the old fashioned way. Thanks for making it so easy!
+GoodLifeXplorers Be careful, night photography is addictive hehe Here's an article we wrote some months ago that maybe will help you to shoot the Milky Way ;) www.photopills.com/articles/how-shoot-truly-contagious-milky-way-pictures
+PhotoPills I will be careful. Don't want to start having a sleep deficit from staying up all night several times a monh. Lol I've read the article, that is what made me interested in the app. Very in depth and and great information. I didn't know where to start until another photographer sent me your link. Let's see what happens!
+GoodLifeXplorers If you have any question, please, do not hesitate to contact us at info@photopills.com :) We're here to help!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the detailed explanation
Thank you!
Thank you PhotoPills for the videos and a fantastic app.This one is a favourite and I'm looking forward to the night when I finally capture my first Milky Way photo, especially now I know where it's going to be :)Thanks Guys!
+tupelokid11 Thank you! Looking forward to seeing your shots in our PhotoPiller of the Year contest :) www.photopills.com/blog/rewarding-you-more-5000-annually-your-most-creative-photos
You are a very good teacher, Rafael!! Thank you so much!
Thanks so much!
I bought the app because of its popularity. I live in a Dark sky area in a drought. I just walk outside and make sure the moon is not too full.
Cool! Thank you!
Thank you for these videos! I was trying to use PhotoPills to check locations in northern Scotland during the milky way season and the milky way panel is showing "always invisible" no matter what the day or time was (I used the slider to check from Feb to Oct). I even checked locations where I've seen photos of the galactic core and still no change. Am I doing something wrong or is the core actually never ever visible from certain locations and all those photos are fake composites?
This is because it's a pretty hight latitude. And it's not getting dark enough (nighttime). But if you get the Astronomical Twilight, you might get the Milky Way too. Use the Milky Way representation on the map to plan you shots (and the times on the time bar).
@@PhotoPills Interesting, thank you, and thanks for the quick response! This question was really driving me crazy
what an awesome step by step explanaition. Cant wait to go test it out. already saved 2 plans :)
Yeah! Thanks so much!
Very helpful video. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks so much!!
Great video awesome app now to try it out.
Thanks so much!
Hey guys!
Does this cover all aspects over the globe?
I live in Far North Australia, along the East Coast and was hoping to get some nice shots. Very excited to watch this tutorial and check out the app!
Cheers!
+cammo253 Oh yes! It works all around the globe. Just can take a look at Mark Gee's work (from Australia, but living in New Zealand), he's one of our users :) theartofnight.com/2014/06/the-art-of-astrophotography-tutorial/
Amazing job just the right app you want!
Thank you! :D
Guys this is absolutely super explanation video for how to shot Milky Way with your amazing application. Thanks for it. Really appreciate it. Please make more videos like this :-)
Cheers Peter
+Peter Svacho Thanks!!! We'll keep making more videos and improving! It's so fun! :D
Obrigado! excelente aplicativo, muito satisfeito, tutorial claríssimo!
Thank you!
Great job and excellent explanation! Unfortunately there's no an Android version yet, but I subscribed right now and I'll waiting for it! Thanks a lot!
Perfect! We'll contact you as soon as the app is available in Google Play :)
Super !! thank you very much for your work !! photopills is amazing and open lots of new possibilties:-) JF
Thanks so much!
Great instruction thanks!!!
Thank you!
this will replace so many apps and websites for planning.. fantastic hope it's on android
Thank you! :)
I'm just getting into astrophotography. Looks that Photo Pills is the perfect tool for it. Waiting desperatly for the Android version. My holidays are in August and I plan star trails in the Alps.
Hi Jens! The Android version is coming! :) You can follow the development progress here: photopills.com/android
Hello. Why haven't you included a CG planner the same way as the moon and sun planners are implemented? Wouldn't that work the same? Great app.
Hi Thierry! The Milky Way has a different behaviour and shape :)
This is the APP for Landscape photographers... I always use PhotoPills for planning my photo sessions.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you Luca!! :D
I love PhotoPills! The app is so -o-o helpful in planning your shots! This Milky Way tutorial is planned logically and sequentially in order for users to be able to use PhotoPills with the least effort to succeed with our shots. Thank you so much for providing all the assistance you do.
Thank you Janette!
Wow fantastic this is going to expand my shooting so much. Being ex soldier. With ptsd. Being able to plan and recon then prepare is so beneficial for me and will. Allow me to be much more likely to go and shoot so many different things or even positions with the Milky Way. The whole program is fantastic. I just sent the address of your site to some friends to get hold of this app. Please keep up the great expansion and added videos as you can. As I hope to be using this for many yrs to come. I’m not sure if there is a version that I could use on my MacBook Pro to revise my plans and run information that would be great as well so I can while planning link to what I have recorded from a spot or any say pictures of the AR to reinforce what my goal is??? As you have really put so
Much great information I’m sure with my new iPhone coming the XAR it will run even smoother and maybe connect later to my MacBook Pro. As I’m not sure if it’s. Been out on my iPad as well. Or is it only the phone. Just bigger screen so easier as I get older lol. But also while on site be great for AR on the 12.9 screen. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 ohh I gather I’ll be looking North. As we are Southern Hemisphere??? 👍👍📸🎞
PhotoPills works on the iPad too :) Just search PhotoPills in the App Store in your iPad and you'll find it. And, as you already bought PhotoPills for your iPhone, if you use the same iTunes account on your iPad you won't need to buy the app again. At the moment we don't have a desktop version, it's in the roadmap thought, but we're a really small team and we don't know when we'll be able to build it.
Bravo! Bravo! I stand and applaud!! Yes please make more video's like this! I have been using this app for a year and this will help me explain to others how it is used. Need to mention the Iphone and Ipad focal mm is 35mm is what you are viewing in Night AR mode so using a 14mm lens on a full frame you will get more in the frame. I now understand how to setup for those great panoramic shots in February and March with the MW arch low on the horizon. The Ipad app is way better to see everything (power last longer also), tap the moon and sun and get the moon and MW and watch as the moon sets in the west while the MW rises in the SE for that moon lit foreground with the MW in the sky also. Also this app has all the photo tools you will ever need in the field.
Cheers also,
Ed
+Echo Auxgen Hi Ed!! Yes, you're right. The Night AR uses the iPhone camera, so it's like using a 35mm. So, if you use a wider focal length, more Milky Way arch will fit in your frame :)
truly amazing what uz have created!!! I'm sold on this as my go to app for everything now!! off to the download shop!!!! nice vid and great display of what we can achieve with it, top marks to ya!!!
Thank you David! :)
Thanks for the great guide. This really helped me out. However, I'm trying to plan when the galactic center will be visible in western Norway, but the app shows "Always invisible" at any given time. Is it really not possible to view the galactic center from here?
Hi Aleksander! The Galactic Center is only visible for latitudes under more or less +55º. In your case, you'll be able to see part of the core, but the rest will be hidden under the horizon. That's the reason PhotoPills says that's "Always invisible". Also, you just have to take into account, that the sun is too high during summer in Norway, so it's not dark enough to capture the Milky Way. We recommend shooting the Milky Way at the end of the Astromical Twilight, and that doesn't happens during summer in Norway until September. You won't have the rise/set times, but if you use the Planner you'll be able to know where the Milky Way will be at every time. Hope it helps! If you have more questions you can also send us an email to info@photopills.com.
You, sir, are a fucking wizard! This is fantastic, the only app I have ever bought and probably the last. Muchas gracias!
Thank you!
Thanks for the tutorial. By repeating view different scenarios, it helps understanding how to use the app effectively. I can't believe how easy to use and very effective to predict the milky way. Thank you again for your great tutorial.
Thank you! That was the idea, to show 3 different scenarios: low diagonal to do a panorama, diagonal and completely vertical.
Great work guys. Great tutorial 💪🏻
Thank you Roy!
OMG - I can't believe the power of this app. Ordering for my iPad today. To the developers of this app, thank you for all the work that went into making this. Will be an interesting learning curve to truly figure out all the things it can do.
+Bill B Thank you Bill! Yes, the Planner tool has a learning curve, but besides this video you'll find 11 more in the Academy section of our website and step-by-step tutorials :) www.photopills.com/academy And if you have any question, don't hesitate to send us an email to info@photopills.com :)
+PhotoPills I've downloaded it now and started to play with it. Crazy Cool !!! I'm going to find this app soooo useful for photography. I've already sent a link to your website to my friends interested in photography. Thanks Again.

So much of good information here.
Thanks a lot for sharing this mate.
Thanks so much Sam!
Fantastic! I like all the information you provide and the option to click to just read the information. Thank you for the info and the app!
You're welcome Jim! :D
This is so incredibly useful. I can't imagine the amount of work that went into this app, but I assume there's some black magic involved or something.
Thank you! :D
Thank you very much! this video is very helpful to understand how the Photopills work:D
Thank you!
Great tutorial, great app.. excellent jobs!!
Thank you very much Vanelo! :D
I haven't started any astrophotography yet, going through the pdf, milky-en. I have the app for planning milky way images but didn't know how to use it until now, wow!!! its amazing.
Great! Don't hesitate to send us an email to info@photopills.com if you have any question :)
Very difficult to understand with the heavy accent. Wish you have someone who can speak more clearly.
Hi Victor! Watch the more recent videos, I believe I've improved :)
Thank you for such a great tutorial!
I bought PhotoPils (ver1.6.3) after I saw this tutorial but I think I'm doing something wrong.
If I tap in the first Milky Way panel (Visibility GC) I can not exclude moon and sun information.
I have just two states OR only moon & sun OR moon & sun info plus milky way but not only milky way alone like in your tutorial at 10:04.
Can you imagine what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you again!
Yes, we changed that in an update. People hide the sun/moon info with that button by mistake and they didn't know how to enable it again. So now it only acts on the Milky Way. If you want to hide the sun/moon, you can use the Sun/Moon panel (3rd top page). Or even easier, tap the "Map Settings" button, the one at the right side of the (+) button on the map, and the tap the eye icon of the layers you'd like to enable/disable.
@@PhotoPills Thank you!
First solution is even better because now I can see only Milky Way and the moon.
Why do you have to do the Planner? if you can simply use the Night AR and see the milky way..
Visesh Velagapudi Because the AR only works when you are in the shooting spot. However, the Planner can be used comfortably at home, so you can scout different locations before going outdoors or when planning a trip
What a great app and a great tutorial. Looking forward to the Android version.

You are amazing. I want to try this too 😭
Let's do it :)
This app is great. I bought it twice: once for my ipad and once for my galaxy s7. Too bad I waited a month or so to actually watch this tutorial... I didn't know to double tap timeline to go to the current day, or tap the moon icon repeatedly to go to the next new moon. Perfect compliment to my new nikon d5500.
Thanks! :)
Epic, absolutely epic. To make something so complex into something completely accessible is just crazy. Thank you!!
Thank YOU! :D
Yeah, i agree. Perfect explanation of an difficult topic. Thanks, dude!
Thanks Alexander!
Just got the app.. so much info. should help a bunch! thanks and keep these tutorials coming
Will do! Working on a new one already ;)
I just took my first Milky Way photos from Lassen National Park and Yosemite's Glacier Point in July 2016. Both turned out great! If I would have had your app at the time it would have made the task much more predictable. I can see that PhotoPils will be a valuable tool in my bag from now on. Thanks for the awesome video and app.
Thank you Bill! Don't hesitate to send us an email to info@photopills.com if you have any question. We'll be more than happy to help you :)
This is incredibly awesome information. Crystal Clear and deep analysis. Thank you for this in depth tutorial.
Thank you! :)
I love this app! You helped me a lot! I love galaxy, sky tumblr photos and this is amazing. It took me 2 days to find a place to shoot in my holiday but when i found it, i was the happiest. ✌💜
Thank you! :D
Thank you!
amazing video.. helped me alot.. thank you for the help, appreciate it! and Love this application, has sooo many features!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video, very helpful . I can't wait to use the app!
Thank you! You'll find more videos and tutorials in our website :) www.photopills.com/academy
Amazing app... Best way to know what my iPhone is capable of while map size on 5/SE screen is a bit small. Not easy to use at first but i have been watching your tutorials and now it is pretty easy. Still need to find out the use of the hidden buttons (first one is GPS ok but others ??). Was focused on Sun and Moon pictures but after watching this video i will study possible Milky Way ones... Congrats to the team !
Thank you Mark! In the user guide you'll find a complete description of what each button is for: www.photopills.com/user-guide/planner#map
Just found the guide after my comment sorry ! Was delighted when i first press the 'Expand Map' pin button :-) while the "Block map buttons" is no longer there... **Request**: please add one button to enable/disable the Obstacles’ pin - faster than sliding on the top.
Yes, we'll add this button on the button's bar, it will be faster than sliding on the top for sure :)
What is the purpose of the geodetic pin in this tutorial? Does it give you any benefits besides easy identification? I love the app by the way, still trying to master it.
In this video we just use it to easily know where the lighthouse is. But if your subject is on a mountain, you can know if the galactic center will be hidden by the mountain or not. If it's hidden the white line that shows you the direction of the Galactic Center will be displayed dotted instead of a think line. In this video you'll find more information about the Geodetic Pin: www.photopills.com/videos/planner-geodesic-information

Thank you Charlie! Here we are if you have any question :)
You make entertaining and interesting tutorials! Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you for the great tutorial! I have owned PhotoPills for a while now but was a little intimidated by it. I am not after watching this.
In order to have the GPS function do you need to have data roaming on? (If you go from one country to another you often get large phone bills if you leave data roaming turned on.)
Thank you.
I forgot to say what a brilliant app PhotoPills is.
Hi Rich! No, PhotoPills works offline. All calculations (sun/moon paths, milky way position, calculators...) are done locally in the iPhone/iPad, also the Augmented Reality views. You'll only need Internet connection to load the maps, but you can preload them by panning and zooming the area you know you'll need. iOS will re-use them when offline.
Thanks for letting me know that. You guys are cool. Keep up the good work!
This app looks amazing! I've been shooting astrophotography for about a year now and this looks very helpful. Is there any online doc other than this video? I'm planning to shoot in Yosemite at the end of June. Also, can I plan a shoot even if I'm not at the location? Example. I'm in Los Angeles but will be in Yosemite in the end of June. Thanks in advance!!! Can't wait to purchase this app later today.

Still one of the best explanations of how to use an app. Brilliant.
Thank you Rob!
Loved this video. Thanks. I've been a PhotoPills user / fan for years. Quick question, do I need a new moon if the moon has not yet risen when I plan to shoot? Is it still dark enough, or would a full moon that is about to rise still add light to the sky?
Hi John! I remember you for the emails we exchanged regarding Full Moon planning and alignments :)
Any night with new moon or the moon under the horizon it's great for Milky Way photography. You can also use the moon when rising/setting to light your foreground :)
We show this blue "power" bar as a reminded of the moon phase. But, of course, the moon can be at 45% phase but under the horizon, and that means it won't interfere with your shooting.
Cheers!

The Developer
PhotoPills Hi German - is that you in the video? Silly follow up question. I understand the moonlight issues discussed here. Light pollution from big cities also an issue, but how about if I'm out in the country where it's very dark, but there is a campfire or other lights nearby? Will they affect my image of the sky/stars?
No, that's Rafa. I was behind the camera :) Yes, it can affect your exposure, because to shoot the Milky Way you have to push up the ISO to 1250, 3200, 6400... So if you have a campfire nearby you'll have to control the highlights.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you! I was hoping to see the picture at the end though! :-)
Thank you! This is the final image :) facebook.com/PhotoPills/photos/a.444716748921640.100719.334855749907741/1018737618186214/?type=3&theater

Thanks for the video ! Extremely useful
Thank you!
Excellent! Will save me a lot of long distance travel to photo the Milky Way. Much appreciated, great work! :-)
Thank you!
I love the BTS of this video :) That's so funny
hahaha :)
So you go to a spot and assume that the milky way is going to be arching above it? Thats how you plan the shot?
Of course not! But in this video I was on location to show you the Augmented Reality Views, to help understand the MW layer on the map of the Planner. You can plan the MW from home. Here you have a video to learn how to do it: ua-cam.com/video/tKRwyR1Rxx4/v-deo.html
