AstroFinish is a darkroom for astrophotography on iPhone. It is built for the shots that come off smart telescopes, backyard rigs, and late-night moon sessions: the ones that are almost there, but need a cleaner sky and a better finish. Start fast with Auto Astro Polish, Deep Sky, Moon Sharp, and other built-in looks. Or dial it in by hand with controls made for space photos, including black point, glow cleanup, nebula reveal, galaxy detail, denoise, star reduction, and moon sharpening. Import from Photos or Files, work with JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, RAW-style images, and FITS sessions, then export finished images or shareable before/after cards. Batch Finish helps run one look across a queue when you came home with more than one keeper. AstroFinish stays local. No account. No cloud upload. No tracking SDKs. Your captures stay on your iPhone unless you choose to share or save them. Built for: Smart telescope captures Deep-sky photos, nebulae, galaxies, star fields, and moon shots Quick fixes when the sky glow gets rude Manual finishing when you want the last word FITS reveal and stack workflows Local exports, share sheets, and before/after cards AstroFinish is for people who would rather be outside collecting photons than fighting a desktop editor at 1 a.m.
