moontake vs Orbweft Star Trails

Tutorials 1. Please align the camera with the moon 2. Use two fingers to adjust the size of the moon (Note: Bigger is not always better, excessive zoom may result in decreased image quality) 3. You can tap on the position of the moon for autofocus. If autofocus is not clear enough, you can drag the focus slider for manual focusing 4. Tap the \"-\" and \"+\" buttons to adjust the brightness. Lowering the brightness ensures more details of the moon 5. Tap the circular capture button to take a photo ---------------------- moontake taking great photos of the moon on your iPhone. moontake provide a special watermark with current moon phase information. moontake's technology implementation does not involve any 2D/3D moon model matching or other cheating methods, faithfully reflecting the resolving power of the camera lens. It is particularly suitable for devices equipped with telephoto lenses. Explore more of the Moon: • Moon Finder gives approximate direction guidance in the camera; compass accuracy affects the guide. • Moon Calendar shows daily phases, illumination, the next full Moon, and phase event times. • Explore the Moon adds approximate labels for lunar landmarks to your photos, with reference images and stories. You can adjust the alignment manually. On supported devices, you can now capture Live Photos to preserve motion around your Moon shot. An interactive guide in the viewfinder teaches zoom, focus, exposure, and shooting; you can replay it from Settings.

Orbweft combines still photographs into star trails or light trails on your iPhone and iPad. BUILD A REAL TRAIL IMAGE Import a fixed-camera sequence from Files or Photos. Full mode keeps the brightest sRGB channel value from each included frame. Comet fades earlier frames toward the last frame; Javelin fades both ends around a brighter middle. Average combines frames equally without alignment. CHOOSE WHAT TO KEEP Review individual source frames and exclude unwanted exposures. Compare the selected frame with the actual stack. Optionally subtract one matching covered-lens dark image and adjust the subtraction amount. Keep the first included frame below a horizontal foreground boundary, with a short feather. Set exposure from -2 to +2 EV. TAKE THE RESULT WITH YOU Export 8-bit sRGB PNG and JPEG, Frames.csv, Session.json, a processing PDF and Readme.txt together in a ZIP. Share the PNG alone or the complete package through iOS. Images are downsampled only, never enlarged, to a chosen 1024, 2048 or 3072 pixel long-edge limit. Source EXIF is not copied into exported images. RETURN TO A SAVED SEQUENCE Source copies and processing settings stay in local saved sessions. Reopen, rename, duplicate and delete sessions. The library starts empty; an optional synthetic 48-frame example is clearly labeled and processed by the same compositor. One upfront purchase. No subscription, ads, account, analytics, tracking or developer-server upload. Use a stationary tripod and matching oriented image dimensions. Excluding frames may leave trail gaps. Orbweft does not capture photos, register or align stars, fill gaps, develop RAW, remove aircraft automatically or create timelapse video. Processing uses decoded 8-bit sRGB values rather than linear-light or HDR integration. Supports JPEG, PNG, HEIC and TIFF stills, up to 120 frames per session and 32 MB per file. Up to 512 MB of source files per session, 20 sessions and 1 GB total library storage. Export packages contain results and processing records, not original-source backups, and cannot restore an editable session. Keep originals separately.
