More nightscape photographers are turning to Planit for powerful planning. MetroBlue is amazing for weather forecasting.

Very similar to my M.O.

Planit Pro is definitely the app I use the most. Complete and very powerful, by far the best planification tool, with new functions like aurora and weather simulations. Then I play a lot with Google Earth to scout from home before real life scouting. I also use several forecast app as Windy (owning a premium account as I use it for wark as well), Clear Outside and MeteoBlue for weather planification. During shooting, I sometimes use the exposure Pills from Photopills as a quick way to calculate the correct long exposure settings from the test shot settings on site.

PhotoPills for Milky Way orientation; google earth for foreground options. "Light Pollution Map" for light pollution...Bortle 3 or lower geographic locations. Clear Outside for real-time bortle info and Windy for satellite and cloud model forecasts. HRRR model (via web) for smoke forecasts. But Photopills is my primary.
