DragonLIGHT Mobile transforms your iPhone or iPad into a professional flat field illumination panel for astrophotography.
WHAT ARE FLAT FRAMES?
When you photograph deep sky objects, your images contain dust spots, vignetting, and optical imperfections. Flat frames are calibration images that let your processing software remove these artifacts, revealing clean, professional astrophotographs.
WHY DRAGONLIGHT?
Instead of buying expensive dedicated flat panel hardware, use the device you already own. DragonLIGHT delivers professional results at a fraction of the cost.
