+Frames vs Twilightscapes

+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. Works offline; no account, your data stays on your device (private iCloud backup). +Frames Lite is free. Premium unlocks the whole app. Languages: EN, DE, FR, ES, IT, PT, JA, KO, ZH, UK, RU, PL, TR.

Built by a night photographer, for everyone who works after dark. Twilightscapes is three things in one: a camera engineered for the night, a complete editing suite that fits in your pocket, and a gallery that turns every screen you own into an ambient display. THE NIGHT CAMERA Long exposures without filters: stack frames live for silky water and star trails, and watch the exposure build in the viewfinder. Capture a dark frame in the field and sensor noise vanishes. Full manual control — ISO, shutter, white balance, focus — with ProRAW, all lenses, an intervalometer, and an interface that dims to red so your night vision survives the session. A Lock Screen button opens the camera instantly, and your Apple Watch fires the shutter from your wrist. VIDEO & SPOTS Record video one tap from the camera and review it instantly. Or make a Spot: put yourself on screen — as a clean bubble or an automatic cutout, no green screen needed — over your photos, over any clip, or over the live scene behind you with both cameras rolling at once. Cue buttons, live volume control, and after-the-fact motion make it a broadcast desk in your hand. EDIT IN THE FIELD A real timeline editor: cut and trim on a filmstrip, punch in on the moment that matters, layer photos and headlines and animate them, replace or mix the audio, and record voiceover while the picture plays. Develop photos with a full slider set, blend star-trail and smooth stacks, build timelapses. Then post video straight to Bluesky — shoot, edit, publish, one app. THE FIELD MONITOR Link devices directly — no network needed on a mountainside. Your iPad or Mac becomes a live monitor with exposure readouts and a remote shutter; stealth mode keeps the screen dim and red. FIELD SAFE The moment a recording ends, a copy uploads to a server you control. Whatever happens to the phone, the footage is already somewhere else. YOUR GALLERY, EVERYWHERE Photos, playlists, and narrated slideshows sync across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Ken Burns motion, voice notes that play with their photos, a pixel loupe for the detail-obsessed, and a curated Twilightscapes collection that grows without app updates — or hide it entirely and make the app purely yours. EVERYTHING IS FREE. Twilightscapes Pro is one purchase — no subscription — that unlocks launch modes (open straight into the camera, video, dual camera, or Studio) and supports an independent artist. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV.
