Epic Posted August 19, 2020 Report Posted August 19, 2020 A tripod, long exposure app, place where there is not much light pollution - may be a state park near you or higher altitude places. for eg: Cherry Springs State Park The sky at Cherry Springs State Park, the second International Dark Sky Park and the first in the eastern US, is so dark that the Milky Way casts a visible shadow. Cherry Springs State Park is an 82-acre (33 ha) Pennsylvania state park in Potter County, Pennsylvania, United States. Quote

Australia has us beat in the dark skies department. I know there are live feeds online of others gazing the night sky with their setups, being livestreamed. I might tune into those. Quote

iphone7 Posted August 20, 2020 Report Posted August 20, 2020 1) find the darkest sky close to you with very low light pollution. You have to travel at least 100-200 miles out of metro areas https://darksitefinder.com/maps/world.html#4/39.00/-98.00 2) buy photo phills app $10 worth it. To track where Milky Way appears and at what time 3) make sure you have no clouds On your shoot night and also it’s +/- 4 days to new moon (amavasya) 4) use SLR, phones are bokka, prefer wide angles 5) you will need an optional start tracker to get good quality pics, this might cost ~$300+ for good quality product (highly recommended it) 6) you have to take 5-10 pics and stack them to make 1 Milky Way pic to reduce noise Quote
