AstroFinish vs FlightCue

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.

FlightCue helps drone pilots shoot in the best light. Pick a spot and a date. FlightCue computes the real sun position for that exact place and hour — golden hour, blue hour, sunrise, sunset — then recommends cinematic shot techniques matched to your subject and the look you want. WHAT IT DOES • Real sun timing for your exact location, date and hour • 13 cinematic maneuvers — reveals, orbits, fly-overs, top-downs and more • Every shot resolves the sun to a real compass bearing, so you know which way to point the camera • Stylized 3D previews of each move, lit by the real sun position for your spot and hour (an illustrative scene, not your location) • Add your drone and be warned when an hour would exceed its rated wind or temperature limits, with a separate rain caution when the forecast shows a chance of precipitation • Save favorite spots and compare them by light and wind • Hourly weather from Apple Weather FREE • 2-day hourly forecast • 7 shot maneuvers • Sun timing, your drone's limits, saved spots and the safety checklist — always free, never part of a purchase FLIGHTCUE PRO • 10-day hourly forecast, instead of 2 • All 13 maneuvers — 6 more advanced moves • Light alerts — a notification when good light is on the way at a spot you've saved Pro is available as a monthly subscription, an annual subscription, or a one-time purchase. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. A subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your Apple account settings at any time. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No ads. No tracking. We never receive your spots or your drones — they stay on your phone. SAFETY FlightCue is creative technique guidance only. It does not check airspace, TFRs, obstacles, or authorizations, and it is not a flight-planning or navigation tool. It never draws flight paths over real locations. Always do your own airspace study, pre-flight inspection, and weather brief from official sources, and follow all rules that apply to you. You are pilot in command.
