AstroPup Horizon vs Askar Astro Controller

AstroPup Horizon allows rapid and accurate capture of your local horizon, using your iPhone or iPad's on-device Neural Engine. No need to capture individual points, just capture a panorama and let machine learning determine figure it out. Magnetometer calibration gets a boost if you include the sun in your image; we'll improve calibration with astrophysics. If needed, make surgical edits or repaint the horizon line within the app. After capture, you can export the data astronomy software such as N.I.N.A., Stellarium, Cartes du Ciel, and SkySafari, and our own AstroPup Sky.

As the core companion for the Askar WAF, the Askar APP offers a high-precision focusing solution for both visual astronomy and deep-sky imaging. Paired with the Askar APP, the WAF offers accurate, responsive focusing with fine step control and instant stop. Travel and step size are independently adjustable – focus in one tap. The APP offers flexible device management – rename and group your devices with ease. Step parameters and travel reverse are also adjustable, so you can tailor the focusing experience to your own workflow. The APP is currently fully optimized for the WAF. Our development team will continue to release regular updates, gradually introducing support for filter wheels, rotators, and other smart astronomy devices. By continuously expanding device compatibility, the APP aims to deliver integrated, intelligent control over a full range of astronomy accessories, providing users with a more comprehensive and efficient solution for smart astrophotography.
