Frequently asked questions
What is in the Milky Way Field Guide PDF?
A cover page with moon, weather, and dark-window conditions, plus one page per selected target with a sky preview, peak hint, aim bearing and altitude, exposure and drift notes, and catalog notes.
Why do bright city skies still show the Milky Way in the preview?
At Bortle 7–8 the core is washed out in real life. The Field Guide warns you, then simulates Bortle 2 for the sky images so you can still plan framing, while listing your real site Bortle in the conditions text. Jump to Lethem, Bartica, or Mahdia with one tap.
Which targets are included?
Wide-field features suited to landscape and tracker work: galactic core and bulge, Rho Ophiuchi region, northern and winter Milky Way arches, plus Large and Small Magellanic Cloud reference plates. Fine nebulae are left for dedicated deep-sky tools.
