Really slick

This app works great for shooting flats for astrophotography. I used it with N.I.N.A., and N.I.N.A. was able to automatically detect my iPad Air as a flat panel when running this app. I was able to use “Dynamic Brightness” mode when shooting flats, meaning that N.I.N.A. could adjust the brightness of my iPad via this app to a level that was appropriate for the exposure time I set. Makes shooting flats a breeze! I wish I’d known about this app sooner!
