About AstroLayer: Astro & Macro
AstroLayer turns your phone into a serious astrophotography and macro tool. Everything runs on your
device: no account, no cloud, no ads.
MOON AND PLANETS
• Picks and stacks the sharpest frames from video, SER or photo series (lucky imaging)
• Corrects atmospheric seeing with local multi-point alignment
• Removes the color fringes atmospheric dispersion adds to low planets (RGB channel alignment)
• Deconvolution and wavelet sharpening, 1.5×/2× drizzle
• Moon + earthshine: an HDR that also shows the dark part of the crescent
• Mineral moon: brings out the subtle mineral colors of the lunar surface
DEEP SKY
• Aligns long exposures on the stars and corrects the edge distortion of wide-angle lenses
• Rejects blurred, cloudy and trailed frames; removes plane and satellite trails
• Keeps the landscape sharp, even if the tripod slowly drifts
• HDR foreground for city lights
• Knows your sky: constellations, stars, clusters, galaxies and nebulae on your own photo
• Light pollution removal, nebula and star emphasis
• Nebula color: gives identified nebulae the color of their type (artistic)
• Comet stacking: stars and comet both sharp
• Star trails and meteor shower modes
• Dark, flat and bias calibration; the dark is scaled correctly even when the phone warms up, and hot
pixels are cleaned without dark frames
MACRO FOCUS STACKING
• Merges frames focused at different distances into one sharp photo (depth map or contrast)
• Corrects focus breathing
• Retouch brush: paint a problem area from the frame where it is sharp
CAMERA
• Full manual ISO, shutter and focus; RAW (DNG) capture
• Trail-free exposure limit and recommended settings
• Burst capture for moon and planets that keeps only the best frames while recording
• Stack hundreds of frames in parts without keeping them all
• Move captures to a USB drive or SD card
NIGHT PLANNER
• Tonight: dark hours, the Moon, light pollution, weather and meteor showers
• Sky map with targets and your lens's field of view
• Moon phase, terminator, craters near it and a 30-day moon calendar
• Best time and altitude for each planet
FILES
• RAW (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm and more), DNG, TIFF, JPEG, FITS, SER, AVI and phone video
• Save as 16-bit TIFF, DNG, FITS or JPEG
PRO
One-time purchase, no subscription. Try Pro features in 10 uses before you buy: unlimited frames,
drizzle, meteor mode, deconvolution and AI denoise, moon atlas and planet identification, earthshine,
stacking in parts, nebula color, comet stacking and 16-bit TIFF.
A memory-friendly tiled engine handles even large RAW series, and processing continues in the
background.
