Description

AstroGuide is a planning-and-learning companion for smart-telescope owners and newer astrophotographers who want to make better use of every night under the stars. Start with the night itself. AstroGuide helps you understand weather, moonlight, sky brightness, visibility, local obstructions, equipment fit, available time, and subject timing before you commit your observing window. Use AstroGuide to: - See whether tonight looks strong, limited, risky, or better used for planning - Find the most useful observing hours - Browse deep-sky subjects with planning-aware context - Preview subject paths across the sky - Plan around your real site, horizon, and equipment - Save goals and objectives for better future windows - Compare framing and filter choices with Capture Studio - Import and review telescope sessions with Direct Scan - Learn from session efficiency, image metrics, and diagnostics AstroGuide is especially useful for smart telescope workflows, including Seestar-style planning and review. It is built to complement the telescope software you already use by helping with the decisions around the session: what kind of night you have, what fits your setup, what belongs later, and what you can learn afterward. For beginners, AstroGuide is designed to make astrophotography more approachable without hiding the complexity. Charts, tips, recommendations, sky views, and diagnostics are built to explain why something matters, not just show another number. For more experienced users, AstroGuide offers deeper planning context: site profiles, horizon and panorama context, Sky Atlas views, Capture Studio framing tools, equipment kits, filter-aware planning, schedule import/export, and session analysis tools. Core planning features are available for free. AstroGuide Pro unlocks advanced planning tools, including Capture Studio and multiple equipment kits. AstroGuide helps you move from “the sky looks clear” to a plan that fits the actual night.

Pin subjects, explore their trails, and customize overlays. Your Sky Captures library stays on your device. • Star Parties: Find gatherings around the world, with event details, maps, and distance filters to help plan your next astronomy adventure. • Events: Browse upcoming and bookmarked events, including Star Parties and reviewed nova and transient opportunities when available. Periodic comet updates help you follow changes in brightness. • Planetary upgrade: Schedule planets more cleanly, explore lunar occultations and near misses for your observing site with an interactive visualizer, and follow matching Moon-to-planet encounters from planet detail pages. Planetary Moon Explorer adds curated moon systems for Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto with time-scrubbable views, representative imagery, and moon detail sheets. • Notifications: Set bookmarked-event reminders and receive a Tonight Summary. AstroGuide Pro adds alerts for meaningful observing-window changes and comet opportunities. • More planning tools: Explore optional planet, constellation, and Milky Way overlays, plus iPhone camera framing presets and Seestar S50 Pro support.
