Description
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 functions differently to traditional astrophotography workflows by aligning and stacking live during the image capture process. No need to transfer images to a computer to align and stack them separately (but there is a built in intervalometer if you do 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.
• Set the exposure time, ISO and white balance.
• 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:
• Background extraction
• 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

Ratings and Reviews
Awesome app – for free! Just one request.
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!
great app with a few bugs
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
PLEASE SO MUCH POTENTIAL
I really dearly ask you that yall work more towards makeing this app like a stacking software such as registaxx. It could allow me to stack and process space objects the auto align feature works well but please you will be a one of a kind app if you take that path towards becomeing a software for stacking and processing images. And I can assure many others will be looking for a app of this style. Also could you allow videos to be imported from camera roll to be aligned and stacked that would be very helpful even if all this becomes payware I will get it in a heartbeat please consider this! Thank you~ a loving supporter.
