Deneb Astro Tool vs Astrian Light

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

Other apps tell you when the sun rises. This one tells you whether you'll see it. Astrian Light knows the real terrain where you're going to shoot —the ridge, the building, the hill in front of you— and tells you when the sun actually clears it. Not when it rises on a flat horizon that doesn't exist. WHAT IT ANSWERS · When the good light starts at your spot, and when the terrain takes it away. · Where the sun rises and sets, right on the map. · How many hours of dark sky the Moon leaves you tonight, measured against your horizon. · When the Milky Way core rises, and which is the next moonless night. · What the eclipse will look like from where you'll be, when, and how long totality lasts. ECLIPSES, ALWAYS FREE On August 2, 2027, a total solar eclipse crosses Spain. The map of every eclipse, how much of the sun is covered from any point, the timeline to the second, and whether your horizon lets you see it. No subscription, now or ever. YOUR GEAR, BUILT IN Over 600 lenses and 230 cameras in the catalog; if yours isn't there, type it in. From then on, the ten calculators speak your gear: exposure without star trails, hyperfocal, depth of field, field of view, filters, timelapse. And "Your frame" shows how the shot will look in your camera before you go. THE SKY, RIGHT NOW Point your iPhone at the sky and augmented reality tells you what you're looking at: planets, constellations, the space station, deep sky. PLAN BEFORE YOU LEAVE Compare several destinations and several nights at once. Save plans with their place, their date and the gear you're taking. And bring the verdict with you: the calculations work without signal. YOUR WAY Buttons with symbol and name, or name only. Light and dark themes. Times in your iPhone's format. In English, Spanish and Portuguese, on iPhone and iPad. WHAT IT WON'T DO It doesn't make data up. When it doesn't know, it says so: if there's no measured terrain for your point, it tells you the figure is for a flat horizon. If the forecast doesn't reach, it won't invent one. SUBSCRIPTION Astrian Light is free for eclipses and for today's sky where you are. Everything else —any date, any place, the whole sky, all your gear— needs the yearly subscription. It renews until you cancel, and you cancel from your Apple account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
