AstroShader is an astrophotography app for capturing, stacking and editing. All you need is a stand, tripod, telescope or rock (to lean your phone on).
AstroShader functions differently to traditional astrophotography workflows by aligning and stacking live during the image capture process. No need to transfer images to a computer to align and stack them separately.
To take an image follow these steps:
• Use a stand, tripod, telescope mount (or lean your iPhone on a rock).
• Zoom in on stars and set focus manually.
• Set the exposure time, ISO and white balance.
• Set the number of exposures to be automatically aligned and stacked.
• Calibrate your images from the edit tools.
• After the capture is complete you can edit and save your image—including as 16bit TIFF.
• You can open images directly to use the edit tools in AstroShader - rather following a new image capture.
Image capture options include:
• Number of exposures to be aligned and stacked
• Exposure time
• ISO
• White balance
• Camera type
• Countdown timer
• Manual focus
• Pause the capture to reposition iPhone or telescope
Edit options include:
• Background extraction
• x5 Histogram curves for fine tonal adjustment
• x3 sharpen layers each with radius and intensity with layer blending rather than chaining
• Brightness (low light enhancement)
• Saturation
• Black point
• Temperature
• Tint
• Save format options; HEIF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF

Great app
This is getting me back into astrophotography which I haven’t done since the old film days. I’m amazed how it allows astrophotography without tracking. I have just taken pictures of the Milky Way on my iPhone with a tripod so far but I plan on getting a NexYZ adapter and pointing it into my telescope. I’ve always been put off by post processing and finding a stacking program and all that. But this thing stacks for us, and, I imagine, even if my polar alignment is a bit off this will correct it. I had no idea such thing exist.
Best Astronomy app on IPhone
Now that the 1 second thing is fixed I can for sure say that this is the number 1 Astronomy app on IOS (for me at least) I cannot wait for the moon to set and begin taking extraordinary photos with this app again!
