AstroShader 4+

This is a great app! It offers so many features that even some paid apps don’t have. I love how you can chose the exposure length (longer than thirty seconds, which is the max some other apps offer) and also have it take multiple of those exposures. Lets say 30 ten second exposures. It also automatically stacks the images and lines them up. Afterwards you are able to edit it. I do have one request though: Is it possible to have a setting to turn off the alignment function? I would like to take around an hours worth of images while aiming at Polaris to get a star trails effect. Other than that, this app is awesome. Thanks you!

I am usually not one to review any apps, but this app deserves a good one. I got this app thinking: “well hopefully I can capture a few stars long exposure through my 4 inch telescope, maybe see down to 10th magnitude if I’m lucky.”

Well, it took a little bit of time and patience, but I just recently took a series of 70 ten-second exposures of the Pleiades cluster through the telescope - and by golly - there were so many stars. In fact, I found that the limiting magnitude of the stars in the image was a stunning magnitude 14.0 - twenty times fainter than I can see with my eyes through the eyepiece. The fact that this app is free and you can still do all this is amazing. It is a must have for any serious astrophotographer.

the app is simple and straightforward. the ui is easy to navigate and it shows you the important stuff without obstructing the viewfinder. the first few tries have worked extremely well on my 14PM, with andromeda galaxy visible in a bortle 6 area, but recently, the images have become blurry and low res. the first attempt got me 12MP but now i get a resolution of some 192x256, which isnt even 1MP. it happened when i turned on pixel binning and left the phone outside for about 10 mins in subzero (34F) temperatures. pls fix this since im really looking forward to seeing this app succeed
