## What is AstroOcular?

AstroOcular is a focused camera app for recording the Moon, planets, and observations through a telescope eyepiece.

The app opens straight into the camera, avoids automatic lens switching by using physical rear cameras when available, and provides a visual guide to help center the iPhone on the eyepiece.

Key features:
- Photo and video capture through a telescope eyepiece
- Physical rear lens selection
- Automatic alignment guide and manual reticle fallback
- Timer to reduce shake
- Pro controls for zoom, focus, exposure, ISO, white balance, resolution, and FPS
- Saves locally to the Photos library
- No ads, analytics, purchases, or backend

Video audio is off by default and microphone permission is requested only if you enable audio.
