WELCOME

MilkyWayCalendar.com is a free site designed to help you plan Milky Way and Deep Sky Object astrophotography sessions for a location you can select on a map.

I got tired of doing all the tedious work of planning a year of astrophotography and wrote a program that does it for me. Now I'm making the program available to you.

After you select a location on a map, a year, and choose either the Milky Way or a Deep Sky Object (like the Andromeda Galaxy for example) the site does all the math for you and emails you a full year calendar (really it's more like a spreadsheet) giving the dates and times you'll be able to photograph the Milky Way or your chosen Deep Sky Object.
