+Frames vs AstroIQ

Clear night ahead? +Frames tells you what to shoot - and how to shoot it. THE ATLAS The whole sky in your pocket: ~12 million stars down to magnitude 14, 8,800 deep-sky objects, Sun, Moon and planets, asteroids, comets and 16,000 satellites moving live. Real astrophotos lie on the map, galaxies are drawn with their true orientation, and every object opens a card with the numbers that matter tonight. TONIGHT'S TARGETS, RANKED The Night tab scores every object for YOUR equipment, YOUR sky and YOUR horizon: altitude, moon distance, usable dark window, field-of-view fit. Grade A to E - the best target for tonight is always on top. FRAME IT True field-of-view preview for your camera or eyepiece. Rotate the frame, plan mosaics up to 4×4, check the sampling. An 8-sector horizon profile per site keeps trees and rooftops out of your plans. PROJECTS Track every target over nights: subs, exposure, gain, filter by filter. Camera angle and position are saved with the project and restored when you return. Export the plan in ASIAIR format. ASTRO BUDDY Your AI assistant knows your gear, your site and tonight's sky. Ask what to shoot, why a filter fits, how long to expose — computed from your sensor, your Bortle sky and the Moon. Type "I have a ZWO ASI2600MC" and he looks it up and saves it to your gear. AND MORE - Plate solving puts your own photos on the atlas - AR mode shows where a target sits in your real sky - Red night mode protects your dark adaptation - Calendar with moon phases and events, searchable up to 2050 - Works offline; no account, your data stays on your device (private iCloud backup) +Frames Premium unlocks the whole app - 7-day free trial.

AstroIQ is a session-planning tool for astrophotographers. It helps you decide when and where to shoot, what to point at, and how your target will frame up — before you set up in the cold and dark. WHAT ASTROIQ DOES Sky Quality Scoring AstroIQ assesses the conditions that matter for imaging — moon phase and illumination, atmospheric transparency, and sky darkness — and combines them into a clear score for your location and time. Narrowband imagers can bypass moon-related penalties, since bright-moon nights are still workable through narrowband filters. Framing Previews See how a deep-sky target will fit your setup. Enter your telescope and camera, and AstroIQ calculates the true field of view and shows whether your target fits, fills, or overflows the frame — with an accurate on-screen preview. Deep-Sky Catalogue Browse a catalogue of 3,118 deep-sky targets with the details that help you plan: type, constellation, size, and magnitude. Your Gear, Your Way Store multiple equipment setups — telescopes, cameras, and named configurations — and switch between them as you plan. Weather Built In AstroIQ pulls local weather and cloud forecasts so you can see whether tonight is worth the drive. PRIVACY & DESIGN AstroIQ works without an account. Your gear, locations, photos, and preferences stay on your device. Location is used only to calculate sky conditions for where you are, and is never linked to your identity. SUBSCRIPTION AstroIQ offers a 7-day free trial. After the trial, a subscription is required to continue using premium features.
