Description

A handy field tool for fixed tripod astrophotography. Calculates the best exposure times to capture beautiful night time photographs of the Milkyway and star filled nightscapes. Eliminate and stop star trails!

The app comes with a database of 3600 cameras.

The 500 rule and 600 rule are outdated now for the new DSLRs. They held good for the film era. This application uses the new NPF rule to calculate the exposure times. It uses the Aperture, Focal length and most importantly the pixel size of the camera's sensor to calculate the exposure times.

The app comes loaded with a database of 3600 cameras. No need to search for your camera's resolution and the pixel size in microns to calculate the exposure times!

Just select your camera's manufacturer and model, followed by the planned F-ratio and focal length of the lens. The app provides you the best exposure time to use.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

3 ★Does what it claims, so it's useful. One big pain in the neck is that it won't remember your camera so you have to set it through the cumbersome list Everytime.
4 ★Can make a improvement, if you guys can calculate accurately with GPS location of the device. Likewise the Start Chart does, it shows and tracks the stars that are visible from the device location. But, still this is a great app. Thanks
5 ★This is what I was looking for and got it from my best friend! Simple and Effective. Very useful for learning. Thanks a ton!
4 ★Only a "search" option im selection would have made it even better. Maybe in next update
5 ★Simple to use and practical
