Rafael! You are the best. Got the App last week and was very confused. Now that I have watched your videos, I am loving it. I have ordered a star tracker to take astrophotography which I am waiting for. Your explanation is so clear. Thank you, Thank you Thank you
Thank you so much Krita! And yes... there is a bit of a learning curve :)
Wow! what an awesome app! Just installed now time to plan some star trail shoots and Milky Way
Best app ever, changes my level of Photography, thanks for sharing from Brazil.
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for this tutorial... I know know what the lines and dots mean. Very grateful!!!! So glad I got this very much appreciated. Muchos gracias.
Thank you!!
got my lens at the ready for snowdon after watching these tutorials just want to go now but raining and cloudy and all the bad thing you dont need when up on snowdon plus not right time of the year for best results
keep up the good work guys
Thank you Kevin! Keep pushing. Weather it's something we can't control, but when we get the photo we imagined is priceless :)
Your app is amazing and has so many features. I'm very thankful for all of your detailed tutorials. Thank you so much.
Thank you! :D
Awesome app for landscape photography.
Great..... very helpful.
Thanks!
The app is wonderfull and i never get out photoshooting without it! I have a question on the star trails shooting technique: I use the multiple photos shooting method, and usually use following settings: Canon EOS 750D, Samyang 10mm f/2.8 lens, shutter speed 25 - 30 s, ISO 400 - 800 and total shooting time around 1,5 hours. And my question is: if i use 1 or 2 seconds of delay between the single exposures to prevent sensor heat (especially during the Summer time / croped EOS), will i get annoying gaps between the startrails?
Hi! It shouldn't be noticeable. If you stack the photos using StarStaX you can use "Gap filling" method.
Good tutorial for a superb app - look forward to more
Thank you Atul! :)
The camera man with his shirt off is my favorite part. Haha.
Thanks for the tutorial!
hahaha Yes! He's Antoni Cladera, The Photographer of PhotoPills :) antonicladera.net
Does this application work in areas without internet?
Yes! The AR views, the calculators, widgets... work offline. You need internet to have the map visible in the Planner.
Dear Rafael Pons, I tried to shoot a polaris star trail but the trils are broken and being my first attempt I am not happy at all. Is there a way how I can send you copy of this startail and correct all my wrong doing pls?
Hi! You probably had a long delay between shots. Is that possible? Keep it as short as possible, 2 seconds for example. If you use StarStaX you can enabled the option " Gap Filling" to avoid it too.
I wonder when is the location search be added to this app?
It's been there since the first version of PhotoPills. You just need to tap on Load and use the top search bar
czcams.com/video/hymsOk9jp5w/video.html
how can we see night AR of aimed shooting location which is different than current location and how can we search for a specific space objects inc moon and sun with name in photopills app ( without dragging the screen)
Hi! Open the Planner, move the red pin to your desired location (you can tap Load and use the top search bar to find an address). Then you can do a single tap on the time bar to change date. Tal the Night AR and you'll see what you'd see if you were at that location.
You can't "search" object in the Night AR view. We only draw the Milky Way and Moon there. To find the Moon just follow the path we draw.
Is it an Iridium Flare at 1:21?
Just above Rafa's head?
Yes ;-)
We think it is! We didn't notice it while editing the video. Thanks for pointing it out! :D
So cool! :-D Unfortunately it's too late to check Heavens-Above to make sure.

The app is awesome however a wheather forecast clue would be the cherry over the cake.
Thank Paulo, it's something we'd love to add in a future update for sure :)
Will there be an Android version of this very useful app?
It's already available on the Google Play Store! :D play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.photopills.android.photopills&hl=en
Hi Developers,
Could I use this for polar alignment for my star tracker?
Is it accurate enough for wide lens on star tracker? let say 2-3 mins exposure for the star shoot without trail.
Cheers
We've done it and it has worked, but that really depends on how accurate your compass sensor is in that moment. Do the 8-figure gesture multiple times and check if you are using a case with a magnet before aligning it. Here's a video where we show how to do the 8-figure gesture: czcams.com/video/Y4WBOJeKJ-0/video.html&feature=emb_title
regarding to 8 digit gesture, Can I do it while My iPhone compass app is ON? Do I really need to do while AR is ON?
because most of the time at night when I go to photo milky way, there is none of the moon there. If I do 8 digit gesture with AR is ON, I have no moon to be reference .
Cheers
@@akkarparkiamopas3401 It's recommended to do it when you open the AR view. It's faster and easier. You can use the moon or the sun.
@@akkarparkiamopas3401 The 8 figure helps calibrate the system. No need to have the moon to do it. You need the Sun/Moon when you use the visual calibration button
check you are not using a case with a magnet ? What is does mean ?
Some phone cases have a magnet to attach to the car. These types of cases affect the digital compass, and the app is unable to detect where the north is
thanks for quick reply , now it's working , I appreciated my message . Just today i purchased the APP .
Thank you!
@@audiobanker1771 Thanks!
algún adelanto para la app de android.
Cuestión de un par de meses. Estamos en la recta final :)
Yiiiii...jUUUUuuu.....¡¡¡
Ya está disponible :) play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.photopills.android.photopills&hl=es
I like the app but your heavy accent make it extremely difficult to understand.
Thank you Steve! I'll try to improve. You can also read our photography guides: photopills.com/articles
Still charging even after 100%
Hi! Is this a question? What’s charging?
The phone is in charging all through the tutorial. I don't know whether this will effect the visual calibration of ar. And the reason I kept the comment is just because I saw it. Thanks. And today , I m doing my first star trails. Thanks for the tutorials. Been watching about all since last week.
soma sekhar It’s connected because we were recording the screen with a laptop :)
I have difficulty understanding his accent, could he asked some else to explain all this in less time and with a different more understandable accent.
We also have a Spanish version, I see you understand it too :) czcams.com/video/C-7upfN5PRE/video.html
