5 essential apps for astrophotography (taking photos of the milkyway!)

This week I'll show you 5 essential apps for astrophotography. I use these all the time from planning a photography night out through to when I am under the stars taking photos. They come in handy right through the process.

Accuweather app is a great weather app and you should be able to predict when the skies will clear and be full of stars for the night.

Clear outside app is fantastic for that more detailed, localised forecast as well as giving you info on the lunar cycles and boatel classification.

Photopills is a photography classic! It is a paid app but in my opinion it is well worth the small investment...this will help your photography in general...as well as helping your astrophotography.
Here's the link to my photopills tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soxILPbOUsU

Plume app is a great app to check the air quality...hopefully the atmosphere isn't too thick so you can see the starts to photograph them!!

Sky View app is a brilliant app for learning all about the stars that are in the skies above you...it will show you where the constellations are, what stars are planets and where the satellites are in the sky.
