Nebulis vs DeepFrame

Nebulis is the companion app for your Nebulis astrophotography server. Browse your entire deep-sky image library from your iPhone or iPad, plan your next observation session, and dive deep into the objects you've captured. Your Library, Your Way Browse hundreds of images organized by object, date, and type. Filter by galaxies, nebulae, or star clusters. Mark favorites, swipe through full-screen previews with pinch-to-zoom, and edit your captures right on your device. Plan Your Next Session The built-in planner shows you what's worth imaging tonight based on your location — with altitude charts, object details, and a curated "best tonight" list so you spend less time planning and more time imaging. Sky Forecast Check local sky conditions before you haul out the gear. Seeing and transparency forecasts help you decide if it's worth setting up. Explore Without a Server New to Nebulis?

eepFrame is a deep-sky imaging planner for astrophotographers. Point it at your location and any night — tonight or a simulated one — and it shows exactly what's worth shooting and when. WHAT IT DOES • Plots every catalogue object's path across your sky from dusk to dawn, with a midnight marker. • Picks out the imageable window — where each object is high enough (alt ≥ 25°) and culminating near midnight — so you know the best hours to capture it. • Draws your rig's true field of view around any object, so you can judge framing before you set up. • Overlays a real all-sky survey photo, the Milky Way, constellations, named stars, the ecliptic, planets and the Moon — toggle each layer to taste. • Masks YOUR local horizon: capture a 360° skyline with the camera (a guided sweep, or import a panorama), edit the sky away, and objects that never clear your trees and buildings are flagged as blocked. • Keeps your imaging log: per-object sessions with date, scope, camera, filters and exposure, your own processed thumbnails, and how far each got — finished, captured-but-unprocessed, or stacked-with-no-result-yet. • Lays your own processed shots on the chart, on their own icon, at the exact field of view they were taken at — so you can see what you've already covered. • Browse your whole imaging database: a searchable, sortable, groupable list of every object with each night underneath. Tap a picture for the full frame; tap a name to jump to it on the sky. BUILT FOR THE FIELD • Works fully offline — the ~5200-object catalogue, all maths and your data live on device. • Fast, gesture-driven all-sky chart: pan, pinch to zoom, tap any object for its card, tracks and imaging log. • A time capsule to preview any past or future night. EVERYTHING IS FREE The full catalogue, every object type, magnitude and size, unlimited rigs, locations and your own shots — all free. No account, no ads, no tracking. Built with open astronomy data (OpenNGC, VizieR/CDS) and public survey imagery (Pan-STARRS via CDS; NOIRLab all-sky photo). Full credits in the About screen.
