Capture the Milky Way with your iPhone.
Star Photo stacks many short exposures into one clean, bright night-sky photo — with live sky detection, an alignment guide, a night planner and a built-in astro editor. All processed on your device.
Free to download · Star Photo Pro available as a monthly, annual or lifetime purchase.
Everything you need for a night under the stars
From planning the shoot to the final edit, Star Photo is built around how night-sky photography really works.
Milky Way Capture
A camera mode tuned for stars and deep-sky scenes, in Easy or full Manual control.
Multi-Frame Stacking
Combines many exposures with star alignment to cut noise and pull out faint detail — far beyond a single shot.
Auto Astro Enhancement
Recovers star detail, reduces noise and brings out natural night colours in one tap.
Smart Sky Detection
Live readouts of sky quality, light pollution (Bortle class) and exposure before you press the shutter.
Alignment Guide
A real-time level and framing assistant tells you when the phone is steady and aimed right.
Night Planner
Sunset, astronomical darkness, moon phase and the Milky Way core’s best time — for your exact location.
Built-in Astro Editor
Exposure, contrast, clarity, warmth, crop and sky tools, with a before/after compare slider.
RAW (DNG) Capture
Keep the original RAW frames for your own processing workflow on supported devices.
Night Vision Mode
A dark interface designed for low light, so the screen doesn’t ruin your night vision.
Made for dark skies
A dark, distraction-free interface on iPhone and iPad.
From dusk to a finished photo
Four steps — Star Photo handles the hard parts.
Plan
Check the darkness window, moon and Milky Way altitude. Set a reminder to shoot.
Set up
Put your iPhone on a tripod and follow the alignment guide until it reads Steady.
Capture
Star Photo takes a burst of exposures, aligns the stars and stacks them on device.
Enhance
Apply Auto Astro Enhancement, fine-tune in the editor, then save or share.
Your photos stay yours
Star Photo has no account, no ads and no analytics. Capturing, stacking and editing all run on your device — your photos and location are never uploaded to us.
Location is only used to calculate twilight, the moon and the Milky Way for where you are. Read the full Privacy Policy.
Do I need a tripod?
For the best results, yes. Star Photo stacks many exposures, and a steady phone gives the sharpest stars. The alignment guide tells you when it’s stable.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone and iPad. Newer iPhones with larger sensors and RAW support give the cleanest results.
Is it a single long exposure?
No — iPhone cameras limit each frame to about a second. Star Photo captures many frames and aligns and averages them, which builds up light and cuts noise like a much longer exposure.
What does Star Photo Pro include?
Pro unlocks the full feature set, including manual capture controls. It is available as a monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase, through the App Store.
When is the Android version coming?
It is being ported now and will be released on Google Play by the developer Build CAD.
Go shoot the stars tonight.
