Astrophotography and night sky

Features & Capabilities

AstroShader is a pioneering astrophotography extension that lets you capture, align, and stack stars live during image capture. No transfer to a computer is required—use a stand, tripod, telescope mount, or simply rest your phone on a rock.

It provides adjustable exposure, ISO, white balance, and manual focus, plus multi-exposure stacking and 16-bit TIFF export. After capture, edit tools include stretching, background extraction, histogram curves, sharpen layers, color tweaks, and multiple save formats (HEIF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF).

User Reviews

AstroShader is praised for producing striking astrophotography with an easy UI and real-time stacking previews, plus strong potential and beginner accessibility. However, it suffers from stability issues (crashes, black frames), unreliable stacking for untracked shots, camera limitations (ultra-wide not supported, limited manual controls), and triggering/save quirks that hinder reliability across devices.

Pros

Delivers stunning astrophotography results when it works.
User-friendly UI with a real-time stacked-view preview.
Rich feature set and potential for advanced processing on a phone.
Accessible to beginners with quick, impressive results.

Cons

Frequent crashes and freezes across devices and updates.
Some updates cause all-black frames or failure to capture images.
Automatic stacking struggles with untracked shots and star misalignment.
Limited camera support (ultra-wide mode not supported) and lack of manual controls (ISO, white balance).
Remote triggering and save behavior can cause vibrations or unreliable captures.

Recent reviews

Very good app, but need bug fixes, astroshader can only be used 1 time and the rest of the taken pictures from then on are all black

It’s been 1 year since I used this app, and my experience was overall amazing. There has been some bugs, but these new updates are getting increasingly better. I love to see this getting updated more, and I hope the developer keeps making this better. I have gotten some amazing pictures from AstroShader, and I will continue to use this app. Definitely 5 stars!
