About Astrosimo: Astrophotography
Point your iPhone at the night sky and come away with a real astrophoto. Astrosimo finds tonight's best targets, helps you align, then focuses, captures and stacks on the phone. TONIGHT Tonight ranks targets your phone can actually capture, based on your night, location, weather and moonlight. Browse the Moon, star fields, star clusters, nebulae and galaxies, including Messier objects and showpiece deep-sky targets. Planets are included for locating and framing. Detail on planets needs added optics, so Tonight does not recommend them for automatic phone capture. CAPTURE Aim, align and hold still. Astrosimo handles focus, alignment and stacking, with a live view as the stack builds. Gradient removal and stretch run automatically. THE SKY IN MOTION Record star trails and time-lapse sessions of 5 or 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes with Pro. YOUR LIBRARY Every capture lands in your Library, with a histogram to check exposure. FREE Three successful captures every month, with auto focus, alignment, auto stacking, gradient removal and stretch, output up to 2200 px, 5 and 10 minute trails and time-lapse. Tonight, the Library and the histogram are always free. PRO Unlimited captures. Linear RAW stacking on supported cameras. Output up to 4096 px. Optional manual controls: exposure, ISO, focus loupe, white balance, frame count and stacking. Dark frames. Adjustable finishing. 16-bit TIFF export. 30 minute sessions. Photo verification. Pro is available yearly, monthly, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. Lifetime is paid once and never renews. Your free captures are tracked with a private iCloud allowance. PRIVACY Precise location is used only for live planning. Saved records keep an approximate location. All image processing happens on your iPhone. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://astrosimo.com/privacy
What’s new
Version 1.0.6 · Updated October 27, 2026
Astrosimo now shows its Pro plans at two natural moments: once as you finish setup, and once after your first finished photo. Each appears only once, only if you are on Free, and Close takes you straight on. Deleting your account now always finishes: your photos and account are erased and you are signed out, even when Sign in with Apple can't be disconnected from the app.
