This mobile application is designed to make exploring the cosmos easy and personalized. It uses your geolocation and the astronomical calendar to recommend objects for you to observe. You can also learn about the history of the universe and take photos of galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters to capture your journey.
The setup process is automatic - simply press a button and the app will use your GPS to find your location, adjust focus, and be ready to take you on your cosmic adventure in less than 5 minutes. The app also has automatic alignment and tracking features, allowing you to choose your destination and have the station point and track it for optimal viewing conditions.
With Stellina and Vespera, you can expect quick image processing, with the app delivering the first image of your destination in just a few seconds. It then continues to compile and reveal more details and colors in real time, using multiple images.
The app also has a Space Center feature where you can control your station, check the weather forecast, manage observation locations, and read astronomical news and advice while waiting for nightfall. Additionally, the app has a unique mosaic mode that allows you to take multiple photos and stitch them together for a larger view of the universe.
For those interested in observing the sun, the app has a solar mode with special filters for safe and easy observation of sunspots. And for more advanced users, there is an expert mode with coordinate pointing and customizable camera settings for manual processing of images.
You can also plan your observation night and let the app explore the universe on its own, and then easily share your photos on social media using the designated hashtags. This app truly makes exploring the cosmos accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
