Haha, thanks for the tip but iOS user here. I will locate "similar" app on my iPhone then.

hahahaha~ then forget about it~ lol

welll, another poster did say we may be able to catch it on 4 am onwards but the window of opportunity is short la. one has 2 hours or so before the first light of the day shines in our sky

fuu~ seriously??
but i don't think i can see any stars at selangor or kl~ have to go back hometown, perlis. only i can test that~ haha

sekinchan. night time if ur lucky, can see milky way

Any nice spot in sekinchan recommended for spotting milkyway?

if budget is your constrain, Sony NEX or the now replaced A series will do the job.. A number of people are selling off even almost new NEX 6 or 7 camera to get the latest A6000 so you can strike good bargains.. Being small and compact, that means you dont need to carry heavy tripod.. and get those that you can hang weights below.. (you can use your camera bag as ballast weights).. I do that and it does the job.. Finally - you need a remote release with at least 2 sec delay on.
Remove all the hand shake.

Quoted for reference. Thank you

yeah, mobile app really helpful to spot the milky way
i forgot the name of the app for ios i used before.. its really helpful, it tells the name of the stars and where the earth moves..

if you wanna do a star trails, you need a remote trigger.
or if your camera is a Nikon, theres already a built in function for that.
its time interval, something like that if im not mistaken..
then stack it in the pc software. I use StarStaX.

Here's mine to share, cant see the milky way enough because the skies was not really clear at that time.
Taken in Bota, Perak. Around 6am.




Have fun trying them out and goodluck

Nice one, for window phone i think can rely on " sky map" this app.

Wondering if we can shoot milky way from genting?

Thank you mate.
Im not sure with android but theres several apps for ios.

Yes you can but if only the sky is clear up there la
