A specialised app to instantly remove stars from your photo so that you can make intuitive changes to your galaxy. Then add back the stars. Besides applying curve and color to your galaxy/nebulae, you could also adjust the number of star, size of star and saturation of star. Then combine the starless and star into a single image for your social media post. Traditionally, user has to download and remove stars on a laptop. This app makes it convenient and easy to do it on the phone using AI. Workflow: 1) Starless > Curve > Color 2) Star > Curve > Color 3) Both > Curve > Color Additional editing for Target and Sky in the Starless image if device has 4G RAM or more. Note: - The app is designed for seestar image of resolution 1080 x 1920 pixels. Larger image will need longer time to load and remove stars. Requirement: - App works best with 4G RAM and above. If the device has less than 4G RAM, it will use lesser weights for AI and produce degraded image. - Image is optimised at 1920 x 1080 pixels. Support: Please write to ustransit74@gmail.com. If the app does not process the stars in your image correctly, please send me your original photo. I will add your photo to the next AI training. A new app update will then be release.

Celvion Scout helps landscape, astrophotography, and city photographers plan a shoot from one place. This outing brings your saved plan and packing checklist together. Packing checks stay on this device for each plan; departure reminders can be turned off in Settings without disabling manual tools. Pro and Studio add on-demand departure rechecks, darker-site alternatives and downloadable shoot packs. Packs retain prepared planning information and any saved weather with timestamps; they do not include offline maps or live forecasts. Studio can prepare packs for itinerary stops in batches. Explore 193 curated candidate locations bundled with the app across 39 countries and regions. A signature-verified online catalog supplements these bundled spots with reviewed public-data places. Matching entries are merged; bundled and user-saved spots take precedence, and duplicates are not shown. Check weather, visibility, wind, sun and moon positions, twilight, local time, access notes, safety reminders, and suggested focal lengths before setting out. Build a photo plan with independent camera and subject points, minute-by-minute local time, sun, moon and Milky Way guides, and terrain sources kept separate from the spot catalog: regional official terrain estimates in the United States and Australia, approximate global Copernicus terrain when online, and a coarse offline terrain fallback elsewhere. Critical-light shortcuts and an explainable conditions score round out the plan. On supported iPhones and iPads, AR Preview provides an estimated live alignment with compass accuracy and calibration guidance. Your private spots, collections, and plans are local-first. Optional iCloud Sync uses your private CloudKit database. Apple Weather is available on every tier for up to 10 days and up to 12 selected places per comparison; common on-device safeguards apply equally and are not subscription benefits. Free saves up to 10 spots. Pro adds explainable advanced photography scoring, future-date composition planning, AR alignment, one-plan Shoot Briefs, and unlimited saved spots. Studio adds multi-location itineraries, route sorting, batch Shoot Briefs, foreground condition reviews, and privacy-safe client delivery. Folders, plans, and imports are available on every tier, with optional private iCloud Sync; imports share a separate 2,500-point-per-file reliability threshold. If a subscription ends with more than 10 saved spots, every existing spot remains available; new saves pause until the user removes saved spots to make room or paid access is restored. Monthly and annual subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled. Only the Pro Annual plan offers a 7-day free trial for eligible accounts; Pro Monthly and both Studio plans have no trial. Candidate locations are planning guidance, not guarantees of access or safety. Verify closures, permits, weather, terrain, tides, wildlife, and local rules before travel. AR alignment is a planning estimate, not a survey instrument.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StarEdit at none against Celvion Scout's 4. StarEdit also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Celvion Scout's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
