Description

This app is for astrophotography with your smartphone. You can takepictures with long exposure times like classical astrophotographywith a DSLR or CCD/CMOS camera. DeepSkyCamera takes pictures of thestars including a plan. You take the pictures in RAW format.Android uses the format DNG which can be processed with thewell-known stacking software. Astrophotography is not a 1 clicksolution and you should familiar with astronomy andastrophotography. The app is for astronomers who know what is a RAWfile, what is stacking software and how to postprocess an image.The app is NOT a 1 click solution for pretty pictures without anywork. This app helps astronomers and astrophotographers to take theimages. You need knowledge about astrophotography and for someimages you need a telescope. The phone must support RAW mode andmust support manual settings. The app checks the support of RAW andmanual settings during startup. Most of the cheaper phones doesn'tsupport RAW and manual settings (like Samsung A and J, Huawei P10lite). High end phones (Samsung S, Huawei P9, P10 and P20, LG G4 toG7) support RAW. You can take light, flats, bias and dark frames.Its very similar to take pictures with a classical DSLR oderCCD/CMOS camera. After that you can do the post-processing withother stacking software as well as with other software for imageprocessing. App can focus automatically to infinity, hyperfocal andof course manual focus. The maximum ISO depends on the camerasensor. Most sensors limiting the ISO value to 800. You can type ina higher value but the sensor wil set it to maximum ISO level ofthe sensor. LG G supports ISO until 6400, Google Pixel until 12800.Its the same for the exposure time. Most of the sensors limitingthe maximum exposure time to 30 seconds. You can type in a highervalue but the sensor sets it to the highest possible value. Die LGG and Huawei P supports up to 30 seconds. DeepSkyCamera takes onlypictures. The app is not designed for the post-processing. Thesample picture shows constellation Ursa Major with the LG G4: 256light frames each 30 sec which results in nearly 2 h exposure timein total. 170 dark framesan 100 flat frames applied. Processed withadditional software. The second and third pic shows Cygnus takenwith LG G4 and LG G6. The last pic shows M31 with LG G6 (M33 is onthe bottom, double star cluster and Cassiopeia upper left). You canuse a simple portable mount for travel purposes like iOptronSkyTracker, AstroTrac or StarAdventurer. You put a ballhead on thetop and add a clip from a small phone tripod. With the previewfunction (which is automatically visible after start) you canadjust the ballhead according to the brightest stars.
