Comments on Star Trail Calculator for Android

★★★★☆ A Google User · Mar 23, 2015

Handy app This app is handy. It bases the no star trail calculations off of the Rule of 600 (if you prefer the rule of 500 and don't want to do the math, just shorten the time you shoot for by a bit). It also takes into account sensor size for people who shoot with a crop sensor camera or something else.

★★★★☆ A Google User · Jan 3, 2014

Good Does the job and it's very useful. Need some UI improvements.

★★★★★ Ivan Rivera · Jan 4, 2023

Handy tool that will eliminate the mental math. The star trail calculator helps the user visualize how much motion blur he/she should expect.
