Nebulis
Your Night Sky Library
USD 4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Nebulis is the companion app for your Nebulis astrophotography server. Browse your entire deep-sky image library from your iPhone or iPad, plan your next observation session, and dive deep into the objects you've captured.
Your Library, Your Way
Browse hundreds of images organized by object, date, and type. Filter by galaxies, nebulae, or star clusters. Mark favorites, swipe through full-screen previews with pinch-to-zoom, and edit your captures right on your device.
Plan Your Next Session
The built-in planner shows you what's worth imaging tonight based on your location — with altitude charts, object details, and a curated "best tonight" list so you spend less time planning and more time imaging.
Sky Forecast
Check local sky conditions before you haul out the gear. Seeing and transparency forecasts help you decide if it's worth setting up.
