Hi! Very good job again! As I said on your FaceBook page it would be super handy to be able to display both the sun/moon AND the field of view of a selected camera/lens (red frame) at the same time in the AR view to figure out which focal length to use to have enough room vertically to include something like a reflection on a lake. In this case I will probably put the horizon more or less in the middle of the frame to capture both the eclipse and its reflection and I would like to know which focal length will give me enough room above the sun and below the reflection (eg the vertical angle of view). The field of view in the planer is very useful but a display of the fiels of view in AR would be a very cool feature for this purpose. Anyway by using Stellarium in combination with PhotoPills I can guess that 24 to 35 mm on a FF will do the job. image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2019/25/3/1560966324-capture-d-ecran-2019-06-19-a-19-41-37.jpg One can also do a simple math. Let's say I want the sun at 2/3 of the top half part of the frame. I know the sun elevation will be 11.5° at my location. So the top half of the frame will be 11.5 x 3/2 = 17,25° Hence the total angle of view needed is 17,25 x2 = 34,5° more or less the field of view with a 35 mm on a FF ;-)
It's still hard for me to realistically understand the accurate size and position of the sun in the shot. My suggestion is, in the Planner->AR tool, maybe you can integrate Google Street View to your app. It will limit the users only to the ground level, of course. But it can give a very close impression of the composition. Also, the sun "size" is quite hard to understand for me. Maybe just show a circle to stand for the sun, in the Field Of View tool, to represent the size of the sun? Just my 2 cents. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for the feedback and suggestions. The Sun size is the apparent diameter of the Sun. You have it in Panel 2 (black Pin panel). And also you can switch it on to see it on the map (with of the sun yellow position line). Follow the steps in the video. Also check our Solar Eclipse detailed guide, it'll help you a lot: www.photopills.com/articles/solar-eclipse-photography-guide
I’m trying to import the kmz file’ but when I tap on your link, it stays in RUclips with a blank screen. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Any guidance? Thanks
What's your biggest struggle when planning and shooting a total solar eclipse? Comment below! I'm ready to help :)

@@jpmissdeNice Thank you! Yes, you have a point there. We'll do it in the future :P
PhotoPills Good news!

Rafa, is the time listed in this video (4:39 pm) the actual time in Chili, or the time in your island?
Yes, it's local time. We always show the local time where the Red Pin is :)

When you tap it... There has to be a Share button some place at the top or bottom. Tap it and choose Copy to PhotoPills :)
PhotoPills thanks for your help:)
