Lodestar for Android

Aim your camera at the stars. Lodestar turns the phone on your camera into a smart finder for night photography: pick a planet, nebula, galaxy or star, and on-screen arrows show which way to pan and tilt your tripod head until it sits in your frame.

Guided aiming with a virtual sky or the camera view, star alignment and Gyro Lock
9,000+ stars, 690+ deep-sky objects including all 110 Messier objects, the planets, the Moon and the Milky Way core
Tonight’s darkness windows, Moon, Milky Way core and best targets; an all-sky chart with time travel
A pure red night-vision mode; everything works offline
