thanks. I am starting to really enjoy this. I have poked around to get information on planning this shot.
For planning timing the shot I used two apps.
The iphone app "Star Walk" gives a visual picture of where the stars are. You can adjust the time to see what the future sky will look like.
The web page
ClearDarkSky tells when the sky is clear
For planning the site selection I used :
Light pollution map.
to look for dark places and google maps street view to look for a scenic place.
