App is for astrophotography with your smartphone and takes pictures in RAW/JPEG.

Features & Capabilities

DeepSkyCamera is a specialized astrophotography app designed for smartphones capable of RAW capture and manual controls. It enables advanced users to take long exposure images of stars and celestial objects similar to DSLR or CCD/CMOS cameras. The app captures photos in DNG RAW format, suitable for stacking and post-processing with professional astrophotography software. It supports taking light, dark, bias, and flat frames to enhance image quality through post-processing.

The app is targeted at astronomy enthusiasts familiar with astrophotography concepts and workflow. It features autofocus to infinity and hyperfocal focus modes, customizable ISO and exposure times (subject to device capabilities), and compatibility checks for RAW and manual settings during startup. DeepSkyCamera does not provide one-click beautification but facilitates capturing high-quality astrophotos for further processing. Users can even pair it with portable mounts like iOptron SkyTracker for improved tracking during extended exposures. Full user instructions are provided via a detailed manual online.

User Reviews

DeepSkyCamera offers strong long-exposure astro capabilities and moon imaging with a comprehensive manual and telescope-like zoom, but users report a steep learning curve, confusing UI, unreliable image outputs, and occasional concerns about fake stars.

Pros

Long exposure capability (up to 32 seconds) enabling astrophotography beyond typical smartphone cameras.
Moon/planets imaging and stacking support with a detailed manual.
Telescope-like zoom for viewing stars and constellations.
Helpful manual and guidance that assists beginners in learning astrophotography.

Cons

Steep learning curve requiring astrophotography knowledge and study of the manual.
Confusing/complicated UI with some features hard to access or use.
Inconsistent image outputs (white/black images or not saving) and occasional app not working.
Allegations of fake stars/backgrounds in photos.

My original review was quite negative, but now I'm unsure. I just genuinely don't know. I originally thought it was a scam............................................................................. My original review, kept because the developer gave me a response.......................... "kind of a weird scam. don't give it permissions. IT PUTS FAKE STARS ON PHOTOS. Very weird : ("

vor zwei Jahren hatte ich schonmal eine Rezension geschrieben. habe die App jetzt zwei Jahre lang ausgiebig getestet. was soll ich sagen, was bessere gibt es einfach nicht. man muss sich in der Fotografie natürlich auskennen. gerade auf Motorola ist das die einzige App im Play Store, die Langzeitbelichtung anbietet. ich bleibe dabei: der Entwickler hat 6 Sterne verdient
