AstroGuide - Astrophotography

AstroGuide 1.4.2 is about expanding horizons: discover astronomy gatherings, follow a changing night sky, plan planetary targets, explore moon systems, and inspect your own sky photos. • Sky Captures: Import supported night-sky photos, identify their star fields with on-device plate solving, explore catalog subjects, and create annotated images for sharing. Pin subjects, explore their trails, and customize overlays. Your Sky Captures library stays on your device. • Star Parties: Find gatherings around the world, with event details, maps, and distance filters to help plan your next astronomy adventure. • Events: Browse upcoming and bookmarked events, including Star Parties and reviewed nova and transient opportunities when available. Periodic comet updates help you follow changes in brightness. • Planetary upgrade: Schedule planets more cleanly, explore lunar occultations and near misses for your observing site with an interactive visualizer, and follow matching Moon-to-planet encounters from planet detail pages. Planetary Moon Explorer adds curated moon systems for Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto with time-scrubbable views, representative imagery, and moon detail sheets. • Notifications: Set bookmarked-event reminders and receive a Tonight Summary. AstroGuide Pro adds alerts for meaningful observing-window changes and comet opportunities. • More planning tools: Explore optional planet, constellation, and Milky Way overlays, plus iPhone camera framing presets and Seestar S50 Pro support. This release also reduces startup and background memory use, clarifies iCloud status messages, improves event layouts, and includes catalog additions and corrections. Sky-photo solving requires sufficient visible stars and capture information.
