Check conditions and plan your target. Use a planetarium app such as Stellarium or a site like TimeAndDate.com to confirm the planet is visible and high in the sky. Review weather forecasts and seeing predictions on ClearDarkSky.com or Windy.com. Good seeing — stable, calm air — makes all the difference when it comes to this kind of imaging!
