Description

Turn your smartphone into an astrophotography camera.

Leave the laptop behind. Astro Capture runs your ZWO ASI camera straight from your Android phone or tablet — no PC to haul into the cold, no laptop battery dying mid-session. Connect the camera, frame your target and start shooting in seconds. Image the Moon, planets, the Sun and deep-sky objects; save as TIFF, FITS, DNG or SER with full manual control of exposure, gain and resolution — all in a red night-vision interface that protects your dark adaptation.

NEW — Sky Map: know what you're looking at
Astro Capture recognises the sky itself. Turn on the Sky Map and it plate-solves your live frame — identifying the field from the star pattern alone — then labels the stars, planets, the Sun & Moon, the Messier & Caldwell catalogues and the constellation figures right over your preview. Nothing to enter: no pointing, no focal length. Point roughly and the app names what's in frame and shows which way to nudge to centre your target. It works on saved captures too, on the phone or in the browser, and every solve is written into the file as real sky coordinates (a WCS) that any astronomy tool — or the free AstroViewer desktop companion — can read. (Pro)

Live Stacking (EAA)
Point at a faint target and tap Stack. Astro Capture aligns and combines each incoming frame in real time, so noise falls with the square root of the frame count (about 100 frames ≈ 10× cleaner than one sub) and dim galaxies and nebulae emerge live on screen. Satellites, planes and knocked frames are rejected automatically; the result saves as 16-bit FITS. You can also stack an already-recorded SER from the Gallery. (Pro)

Remote Control (Wi-Fi)
Run the whole session from a bigger screen. Turn on Web Control and open the address the app shows in any browser on the same Wi-Fi — PC, laptop, tablet or a second phone. Live preview, full settings, histogram, Sky Map and gallery all appear on the large display while the phone stays at the scope. Nothing to install, hardware-accelerated preview, and downloads straight to the computer. (Pro)

★★★★★ Bin Yang · May 4, 2024

Is it possible to add debater option? Currently, the TIFF file does not show color info of a color camera. Thanks!

★★☆☆☆ pengy · Jun 30, 2024

Samsung s21 ultra couldn't hold a connection with the camera (asi 533mc pro) through the app. It would be stable for a moment, start to slow, then eventually crash. I hope the issue can be somehow addressed before I purchase an ASIAIR.
