Description

Night time photography consistantly produces some of the most stunning photographs on the planet. Dark Skies is here to help you optimize those photographs. The longer you expose a digital camera sensor to light the more photons it is able to detect, thus the longer you can expose your cameras sensor to the night sky, the more stars you will see in the pictures. There is a catch though, because the earth is moving, if you expose the camera too long the stars will blur, when done intentionally this effect can be stunning, but sometimes that is not the desired result. To use Dark Skies, simply select your Camera, and the focal legnth of your lense, and Dark Skies will use the 600 rule to calculate how long of an exposure you can have. Thanks for downloading Dark Skies.

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 ★Not the IOS weather app😄
1 ★No support for MFT cameras..
2 ★Crashville
3 ★No mention of any Canon that I am sure has a 35mm sensor such as 6D, any 5D. No Nikon 5000 series or 7000 series. There is a Canon 70 (does it exist?), no 70D. There are separate lists Canon, Canon EOS, a distinction Canon does not make. Max lens length covered is 300mm.
4 ★Does what it says on the box. Although I must admit I was looking for the app dark sky, but that's sadly only for iPhone :-)
1 ★You already have this app installed on your device. It's called "Calculator". You calculate 600/(focal length) = exposure time (in seconds). And that's only if you have a APS-C sensor. What a joke. Also highly suspect that the app is 5MB and needs access to your camera and can send information through networks. Looks like this is just for the developer to peep on you using your own camera without your knowledge.
1 ★Locked up the camera on my s5. Would give negative stars if possible. Crap
1 ★Only cannon, Pentax , sigma and Nikon 5100 that's it . And why haven't you included any of the Nikon fullframe ???
1 ★Not useful for me. No Sony A6000 in the camera list.
2 ★Not enough camera choice No Micro four thirds
1 ★Not a single sony camera 😕
1 ★Used to be a weather app. What happened?
