    Eric D. Brown, creator of Milky Way Planner

    I'm Eric, a photographer and software engineer who built Milky Way Planner because I wanted better tools for planning night sky shoots. What started as a weekend project has grown into something thousands of astrophotographers use every season. I keep the core tools free because I believe everyone should be able to plan a great shoot, regardless of budget.
