MySkyPics vs Zenith Annotation

MySkyPics organizes astronomy experiences and makes them easy to share with others. • Add smart telescope photos into a sky object focused photo album. • Add observations without a photo as a Sighting. ASTRO PHOTO GALLERY Start by picking an object in the app and add its photo from your Camera Roll. MySkyPics is designed to hold photos of thousands of sky objects — sun, moon, solar eclipse, lunar eclipse, planets & moons, comets, meteor showers, asteroids, dwarf planets, stars, star clusters, galaxies, and nebulae - including all Messier and Caldwell objects. It even has a special place for photos of objects not included in the app, labeled ‘My Objects’. As a photo is added for a sky object, it is instantly tagged with that object’s tags. Any custom tag(s) you’ve created can also be attached. Expand your record with optional place and notes. Objects added to the album can be quickly found with Search and browsed with a swipe. SIGHTINGS RECORD Sightings makes MySkyPics a reference resource of your astronomy experiences. Because not all astronomy viewing can be recorded in a photograph, Sightings is a special option for recording details of observations without photos. Record the details of a sighting — date, confidence, magnitude, opposition, place, notes, and tags. WEB RESOURCES Most sky objects also link to a Wikipedia article with more information on the object. Many also have links to a NASA ‘Picture of the Day’ article. (Internet access needed to access these links.) One can also add Wikipedia and NASA links for sky objects that are added to the app.

Study and present your astronomical images on iPhone and iPad. Zenith Annotation brings image import, astrometry, annotations, and presentation tools together in a guided workflow. Explore the field • Open the images you choose from Photos or Files, including TIFF and TIF images. • Solve a field online when you request it and agree to send a working copy. • Browse catalogs and review object and session details. Prepare your annotations • Organize layers, labels, data, and visual styles. • Keep project progress on your device. • Preserve the original file: online solving uses a reduced grayscale copy, not the original. Present your work • Design carousels with editable text, charts, palettes, and animations. • Arrange images and text in collages. • Export a result to save or share yourself. Online solving requires a connection and your explicit action. For this feature, the app sends Astrometry.net a reduced grayscale copy of up to 2048 pixels without EXIF metadata. Zenith Annotation does not transmit the original file or publish your images to social networks.
