About DeepSkyCamera Pro

This application is for astrophotography with your smartphone. DSC Pro is the advanced application of DSC Free and provides these functions:

- photo function of the night sky with or without telescope (same as in DSC Free)
- photo live stacking in RAW and JPEG
- photo live stacking with tracked and untracked images
- viewfinder live stacking with max 10 sec max shutter speed for viewfinder to break the limitation of One sec max shutter speed for viewfinder
- live star trails
- star trails
- animated star trails video in mp4 (codecs AVC, HEVC)
- timelapse video in mp4 (codecs AVC, HEVC)

With Photo function cou take images with long exposure times like classical astrophotography with a DSLR or CCD/CMOS camera.
DeepSkyCamera takes images of the stars including a plan. You take the images in RAW format. Android device uses the format DNG which can be processed with the well-known stacking software. This is the same function DSC Free provides,

Photo live stacking works with pictures which a tracked by a telescope mount or tracker as well as with untracked pictures (phone on tripod, on a table, chair etc.). The pictures are analyzed and aligned so that the pictures can be stacked. The stacked effect is saved in TIFF when you use RAW and its saved in JPEG when you use JPEG. Mostly you must post process the stacked effect with other apps which provide postprocessing.
During photo live stacking necessary info are displayed on the screen: number of frames, rejected frames, exposure time, integartion time, processing time and the shift in x and y axis as well as the rotation angle.

Preview live stacking function is a fast stacking function which stacks pictures from viewfinder only. Lots of phones does not let One sec or slower shutter speeds (f.i. Five sec, 10 sec) for viewfinder. Camera sensors can become unstable and can crash when shutter speed is f.i. Five sec. Lots of manufactuerers restrict max shutter for viewfinder at 1/3 sec or ½ sec. Thats not enough to see dark objects (f.i. M51, M57) in viewfinder when phone is attached to a telescope.

These are the minimal requirements for DeepSkyCamera Pro:
• Android Six or higher
• 3 GB RAM
• 64 GB flash
RAM is very necessary and DeepSkyCamera Pro runs on phones with 3GB RAM. Due to massive memory operations (espcially during RAW photo live stacking) application can crash due to lack of memory. It depends on memory management of the phone. DeepSkyCamera Pro runs on Android device Six but there are a couple of minor problems on Android device Six and 7.
Best requirements for DeepSkyCamera Pro:
• Android Eight or higher
• 8 GB RAM
• 128 GB flash
More memory is always better for ever application or software. Its the same with DeepSkyCamera Pro.

You can install DeepSkyCamera Pro and DeepSkyCamera Free side by side.
Both apps are independent and you can use both apps. Updates of 1 application do not overwrite the other app.

Before you buy please check DSC Free 1st that it runs on your phone. If DSC Free runs on your device DSC Pro will also run. There is a really big compatability list available:
