Composing the Milky Way before you can see it

The quiet problem at the heart of Milky Way photography in Europe: the composition has to be finished before the subject shows up. The core needs true darkness to be visible, and by then the foreground is black.

The post walks through the AR Sky view in Inverza 1.5: sun, moon, and Milky Way core drawn onto the live camera feed, anchored to the real horizon, with a time scrubber that lets you stand there at blue hour and watch the core slide into the gap you were hoping for, hours before it is visible. Plus an honest note on compass drift and the Calibrate control.
