+Frames vs AstroIQ

+Frames plans your night: what to shoot, when, and how. THE ATLAS The whole sky in your pocket: stars down to magnitude 21 when you zoom in, 8,800 deep-sky objects, Sun, Moon and planets, asteroids, comets and satellites moving live. Real astrophotos lie on the map, galaxies are drawn with their position angle, 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, field-of-view fit, filter fit, moon, usable dark window. Grade A to E, the best target for tonight is always on top. FRAME IT Field-of-view preview for your camera or eyepiece. Rotate the frame, plan mosaics up to 4x4, check the sampling, swap camera and telescope while the frame stays on screen. Compare up to 10 frames at once with +FOV. An 8-sector horizon profile per site keeps trees and rooftops out of your plans. PROJECTS Track every target over nights: hours target per filter, subs, exposure, gain, location. Camera angle and position are saved with the project. Export the plan in ASIAIR format or as a NINA target set. Observing log for stars, lucky imaging log for Sun, Moon and planets. ASTRO BUDDY Your assistant knows the whole app, your gear, your site and tonight's sky. It does the work from the chat: creates projects, logs your nights, saves gear and locations, opens any screen. Ask what to shoot, which filter fits, how long to expose. Name a device and it looks up the specs and saves it. New here? Type "tour". AND MORE Weather on every location: clouds, dew, rain and wind for the next three nights. Calendar with moon phases, moon-free nights, eclipses and showpiece targets at their best, searchable up to 2050. 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.

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. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID and can be managed or cancelled in your App Store settings. Weather data powered by Open-Meteo.
