Deneb Astro Tool vs Control Tiempos Eclipse

Deneb is your co-pilot for night and landscape photography. Plan where and when to shoot the Milky Way, the Moon, the Sun, Orion, an eclipse or a meteor shower, always on the real terrain. FREE TO PLAN • Tonight: the astronomical night window, the Moon phase and the hours of true darkness, with a verdict on whether it's worth going out. • Clouds tonight: the hour-by-hour forecast, with cloud types and dew and wind warnings. • The Milky Way and the Galactic Center on a terrain map, step by step. • The Moon or the Sun behind a landmark: pick a church, a tower or a castle and Deneb tells you the dates, the time and where to shoot from. • Orion with a landmark, eclipses and meteor showers. • Composition viewer with your camera's focal length and sensor: check whether a mountain blocks the sky before you drive there. • Split screen 2D/3D and a joystick to fine-tune your shooting spot. • Augmented reality: point your phone and see where the Milky Way will rise. • NPF and hyperfocal calculators (150+ cameras), lunar calendar and packing list. • Home screen widgets for the night and the clouds. • Chat assistant to answer your questions about the app. DENEB PRO Pro adds what costs money to keep running: • The real landscape in 3D: the viewer and the map show Google's photorealistic mesh —terrain, buildings, trees— behind your framing. • 3D landmarks: places we modeled ourselves where Google doesn't reach, such as castles, windmills, telescopes, lighthouses and churches, with their real outline in the viewer. • Automatic search for the best spots and dates for the Moon, the Sun or the Milky Way over your landmark, also inside an area you draw on the map. • Timelapse and star trails: watch the sky move over your landscape and record it as a video. • Panorama: the shot grid with its overlap, the maximum exposure and the final photo already stitched. • Unlimited saved plans (Deneb Free saves 15). Deneb Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription; the yearly plan starts with a one-week free trial. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Made by Josep Guasch, photographer and astrophotography instructor. You'll also find his landscape and astrophotography workshops in the app. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy: https://deneb.photo/privacidad.html

Control Tiempos Eclipse is a spoken director for solar eclipse photographers. During an eclipse, every second counts and every glance at a screen is a photo you lose. The app announces each moment out loud — filter off, bracketing, diamond ring, totality, filter back on — so you never need to look at your phone. HOW IT WORKS Choose an eclipse, set your observing position (GPS or manual coordinates), and the app computes your exact local contact times — C1, C2, maximum, C3, C4 — using an embedded astronomical engine. Then build your photographic program: a sequence of timed voice cues anchored to those contacts. When the day comes, press start and listen. The app speaks; you shoot. ENTIRELY OFFLINE Everything runs on your device. The eclipse dataset (2025–2035) is built in, the timing engine needs no network, and the voice announcements use the system's own speech synthesizer. No signal on a remote hilltop? Perfect — neither the app nor you need it. REHEARSE BEFORE THE DAY A rehearsal mode lets you run your full program in accelerated or real time, so you can practice your camera movements and refine your script days before the eclipse. On eclipse day, nothing is improvised. DESIGNED FOR THE FIELD - Precise timing engine with sub-second announcement accuracy - Programs built around the real contact times of your exact position - Clear execution screen with the next cue always visible - Works with the screen locked in your pocket - No account, no ads, no data collection — see our privacy policy Built by a photographer, for photographers, with the August 12, 2026 total eclipse over Spain as its first mission.
