Description
THE UNIVERSAL HUB FOR ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY
Designed specifically for the smart telescope and stargazing community. Cosmic Cartography is a mobile astrophotography darkroom that processes Master FITS Stacks directly from your ZWO Seestar (S50, S30, S30 Pro) or Dwarf Lab (Dwarf 1, Dwarf 2, Dwarf 3, Dwarf Mini) device. Replace your PC with a 32-bit floating-point photo editor, conquer green sensor noise, and plot your final deep sky edits directly onto a live 3D Personal Sky Atlas.
THE UNIVERSAL BRIDGE TO THE STARS
Cosmic Cartography is your mobile "Mission Control," bridging the gap between consumer Smart Telescopes and professional Astrophotography. Whether you are capturing the Orion Nebula from your backyard or imaging deep sky galaxies, we provide a 32-Bit FITS processing engine and a 3D Celestial Atlas in one unified astronomy app.
1. THE DARKROOM: SCIENTIFIC SIGNAL PROCESSING
Stop destroying deep sky data with basic photo editors. Load raw FITS files from your telescope and process them using professional observatory mathematics directly on your phone or tablet.
🎛️ 32-Bit Math Engine: We process every pixel in 32-bit floating-point precision to preserve your camera sensor's maximum dynamic range.
🧠 The MTF Stretch (Universal Translator): Not a simple brightness filter. The engine calculates your noise floor and solves a pure Midtones Transfer Function equation to reveal faint nebulosity without washing out the star cores.
🎨 Advanced Color Palettes (RGB, HOO, SHO, ForaxX): Route your narrowband and broadband data seamlessly. From true-color RGB and the Bicolor HOO standard to the classic Hubble Palette (SHO) and the dynamic cross-fade ForaxX engine, you have professional color control at your fingertips.
🟢 SCNR Green Killer: Surgically removes the background "Green Cast" from OSC (One-Shot Color) sensors while preserving true Hydrogen-Alpha and Oxygen-III signals.
🌕 The Lunar Lab: A dedicated suite for processing high-resolution lunar FITS data, pulling out tack-sharp crater geometry and moon surface details.
📵 100% Offline & No AI Enhancements: Process massive FITS image stacks anywhere, even off-grid. We strictly reject generative AI. Our pipeline is pure math, preserving the forensic reality of your photons.
2. HARDWARE RECOGNITION ENGINE
🔭 Smart Scope Native: The ultimate mobile companion optimized specifically for ZWO Seestar (S50, S30, S30 Pro) and Dwarf Lab (Dwarf 1, Dwarf II, Dwarf 3, Dwarf Mini).
📷 Pro Camera Support: Auto-identifies IMX585, IMX462, IMX571, and IMX455 sensor telemetry directly from the FITS header for the big rig astrophotographer.
3. THE 3D SKY ATLAS & GHOST STAMP
We don't just process a picture; we put it back in the universe.
🌍 Astrometric Projection: Using FITS RA/DEC data, we project your final image onto a live 3D Celestial Sphere.
📏 True Scale Rendering: Your deep space image is mapped at its exact plate scale.
🛡️ The Ghost Stamp Forge: Export your final edits as high-resolution PNGs with a customized, professional watermark featuring your target data, hardware specs, and author name—ready for instant sharing to social media and astronomy groups.
4. THE DIGITAL LOGBOOK
Every astronomical target you process is permanently archived. Cosmic Cartography acts as your personal astronomy logbook, extracting professional telemetry directly from the FITS Header (Integration Time, Gain, Focal Length, Sensor Temperature).
WHO IS THIS APP FOR?
• Smart Telescope users who want to move past automated factory JPEGs.
• Astrophotographers looking for a mobile PC replacement to edit FITS files on the go.
• Stargazers and astronomy enthusiasts who want to build a personal, interactive 3D map of the night sky.

Hi Craig! Thank you very much for your very quick reply. Everything is clear now. I had the wrong idea about the app, as I thought it could replace CIRIL on my phone, for example. But it is something different, and I like it. So far, it works very well. Thanks for the quick feedback.
