AstroShader is an astrophotography app for capturing, stacking and editing. All you need is a stand, tripod, telescope or rock (to lean your phone on).
AstroShader lets you align and stack live during the image capture process. You can also align and stack images from you Photos library. No need to transfer images to a computer to align and stack them separately (but there is a built in intervalometer if you need it).
To take an image follow these steps:
• Use a stand, tripod, telescope mount (or lean your iPhone on a rock).
• Zoom in on stars and set focus manually, or use autofocus.
• Set the exposure time, ISO and white balance, or leave to auto-exposure.
• Set the number of exposures to be automatically aligned and stacked.
• Calibrate your images from the edit tools.
• After the capture is complete you can edit and save your image—including as 16bit TIFF.
• You can open images directly to use the edit tools in AstroShader - rather following a new image capture.
Image capture options include:
• Number of exposures to be aligned and stacked
• Exposure time
• ISO
• White balance
• Camera type
• Countdown timer
• Manual focus
• Pause the capture to reposition iPhone or telescope
Edit options include:
• Stretch image
• Background extraction
• Dynamic background extraction (DBE)
• x5 Histogram curves for fine tonal adjustment
• x3 sharpen layers each with radius and intensity with layer blending rather than chaining
• Brightness (low light enhancement)
• Saturation
• Black point
• Temperature
• Tint
• Save format options; HEIF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF
This app is really good. I used it to capture jupiter through my 80mm telescope and the results were amazing. I could see the cloud bands and some blobs which were probably storms on jupiter. It has an automatic image stacking mode and has an automatic alightment function and other cool stuff. Really recommend this app for taking pictures of planets and other space objects.
Simple yet effective

The app is simple yet effective in what it aims to do. Kudos and thank you to the developer for getting this in to the App Store!PS: Please add an option to reset to default settings and a +/- to ISO as well
