  1. 5/5I’m a new astrophotographer…

    … and even with my limited knowledge of the hobby, this app is incredibly helpful. Just the forecasting alone (cloud cover, dew point, lunar phase) helps me plan my evenings, but then the ability to sort objects by whether they will be a good target for my particular smart telescope (Seestar S30 Pro) lets me optimize those evenings. There’s a lot of information but it’s displayed pleasingly and with a great eye for design. Looking forward to future updates and to get even more out of this app.

  2. 5/5Really like this app

    I’m still learning it but what I see so far I really like. One request: Could you add Celestron 6SE to the list of owned equipment? Thanks a ton!

  3. 4/5Objects search page needs performance optimization

    The main "Tonight" page loads just fine and scrolls great. But the moment you hit the search bar and look for objects a bunch of images load and the app slows to a crawl and becomes unusable on a 17 Pro Max. I like the concept. I like the tonight view is very useful. I like that I can search and filter objects nicer than otherwise. But I need it to not slow down so much. I've tried all 3 settings of image fetch protection and it doesn't help.
