Cygnus Astro
Get ready to do astrophotography from your mobile phone!
Cygnus Astro enables astrophotographers to use a mobile touch-friendly interface to control their equipment from N.I.N.A. software. No matter if you have a laptop, or a mini PC, you can replace that complex UI with a mobile app. When in the field, you're able to connect, monitor, and control all your astrophotography equipment without worrying about a desktop interface. Turn your PC on, and forget about it!
Key features:
- Connect your equipment (mount, camera, electronic focuser, etc.) using a simple button
- Launch and monitor your advance sequence
- Perform your Three-Point Polar Alignment without having to hold your laptop
- Preview your exposures in real-time
- Fully open-source. This app is, and will aways be free
Cygnus Astro uses N.I.N.A. PC software and the N.I.N.A. Advanced API plugin to communicate with your PC. This app is not a replacement for N.I.N.A. or your PC.
