Solar Beam vs DeepFrame

Every great image from the James Webb Space Telescope, with the story behind it — plus the Astronomy Picture of the Day every morning and the asteroids passing Earth this week. Solar Beam is free, and your first week includes everything in Premium. THE JAMES WEBB GALLERY Explore a curated gallery of Webb's most breathtaking images, straight from the ESA/Webb archive. Every image comes with its real caption, credit, distance, and sky position — the Cosmic Cliffs, the Pillars of Creation, Webb's first deep field, and hundreds more. Browse by collection — Nebulae, Galaxies, Star Birth, Our Solar System, Deep & Distant — or search for any target. WHERE IS WEBB A live status dashboard for the telescope itself: how many days it's been in space, its orbit at Lagrange Point 2 a million-plus miles away, and the astonishing temperature contrast between its sun-facing side and its supercooled instruments. 4K WALLPAPERS Save any Webb image as a 4K wallpaper or full-resolution download — straight from the source. WIDGETS NASA's Picture of the Day on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, in every size — free. Premium adds Webb Daily: a different curated James Webb image on your Home Screen every day. PICTURE OF THE DAY NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day, with AI-generated facts that make every image make sense. ASTEROIDS Track near-Earth objects and close approaches — always free.

eepFrame is a deep-sky imaging planner for astrophotographers. Point it at your location and any night — tonight or a simulated one — and it shows exactly what's worth shooting and when. WHAT IT DOES • Plots every catalogue object's path across your sky from dusk to dawn, with a midnight marker. • Picks out the imageable window — where each object is high enough (alt ≥ 25°) and culminating near midnight — so you know the best hours to capture it. • Draws your rig's true field of view around any object, so you can judge framing before you set up. • Overlays a real all-sky survey photo, the Milky Way, constellations, named stars, the ecliptic, planets and the Moon — toggle each layer to taste. • Masks YOUR local horizon: capture a 360° skyline with the camera (a guided sweep, or import a panorama), edit the sky away, and objects that never clear your trees and buildings are flagged as blocked. • Keeps your imaging log: per-object sessions with date, scope, camera, filters and exposure, your own processed thumbnails, and how far each got — finished, captured-but-unprocessed, or stacked-with-no-result-yet. • Lays your own processed shots on the chart, on their own icon, at the exact field of view they were taken at — so you can see what you've already covered. • Browse your whole imaging database: a searchable, sortable, groupable list of every object with each night underneath. Tap a picture for the full frame; tap a name to jump to it on the sky. BUILT FOR THE FIELD • Works fully offline — the ~5200-object catalogue, all maths and your data live on device. • Fast, gesture-driven all-sky chart: pan, pinch to zoom, tap any object for its card, tracks and imaging log. • A time capsule to preview any past or future night. EVERYTHING IS FREE The full catalogue, every object type, magnitude and size, unlimited rigs, locations and your own shots — all free. No account, no ads, no tracking. Built with open astronomy data (OpenNGC, VizieR/CDS) and public survey imagery (Pan-STARRS via CDS; NOIRLab all-sky photo). Full credits in the About screen.
