The problem with all kinds of painting is you can't paint in the dark...You need a good light source.ie..window or floor lights I have 2 sockets which I screw a 250 Watt bulb into and plug it into the wall receptacles.
If you have a window start there & paint away from the light, looking at the reflection in the wet paint for coverage. Adding a couple of table lamps without shades to that end of the room will speed things up.

OK, does the room have windows? If so wait till during the day and use the natural light for easy to see mistakes/errors or spots you need to repaint. If this doesn't help then use a high watt light and try to see where the spots you need to repaint are at. You may not need a second coat...what type of paint did you use and what type /color was there before? I would just try to evenly paint over it again.

Pick out an area and paint all you can with out moving the ladder. Move down one side of the room and make sure the ladder is the same distance from the wall. You are going to overlap but for a second coat it won't make any difference.

Start rolling the ceiling from the middle, then go in an outward motion until you have reached the edges. After that (or before) brush paint all of the edges and corners (seams) of the ceiling.

I would spray it. I rolled my girl friends ceiling and that is just a pain. We did too coats of KILLZ primer and then like two coats of ceiling paint. Spaying is the way to go that is for sure.

Visit the opticians - with sufficient lighting you can always see the difference!
If not use a slightly different colour for the first coat than the colour you want to end up with!

Glidden makes a ceiling paint that has a pink tint to it that dissapears as the paint dries.

You have already missed the best way. The best way is to get that paint that when applied is a light pink or blue....but when it dries...it's white. That way you can see all the places you missed before you stop.

wait for it to dry and coat it again the exact way you coated it the first time. If it's wait pain... LOL than yeah, just take a lucky guess. but if you can't tell, neither will anyone else
