About Night Atlas: Constellation ID
Put names to the sky you photographed. Night Atlas identifies star patterns in your own images and helps you share the story of the shot. IMPORT. IDENTIFY. LABEL. Open a supported nightscape from your camera or phone. Night Atlas matches its stars against a built-in catalog, then places constellation figures and sky labels over the photograph. KEEP YOUR COMPOSITION Adjust label density, choose the objects you want to show and remove individual labels. Export a labeled image at full resolution. TELL THE STORY OF THE SHOT Build a shot-data card from the photo's EXIF. Edit its rows and style, then place it over your image. You can stamp a photograph without solving it, and keep your work together in the Library. MADE BY PHOTOGRAPHERS, BACKED BY SCIENCE Created by a Pacific Northwest nightscape photographer. On-device astrometry matches patterns in your photograph to catalog stars. The background photography is the developer's own work. Single, full-resolution frames work best. Star reduction, missing capture data, stitched panoramas and heavily altered skies can prevent a reliable solve. No result is guaranteed for every photograph. Try three free exports. A one-time Full Unlock provides continued export access on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Earlier paid purchasers keep full access after their App Store receipt is verified. No subscription, account or photo upload. Your photographs are processed on your device.
What’s new
Version 1.0.10 · Updated October 16, 2026
Stamp any photo, even one that won't solve. • A photo that won't solve can still carry your shot data: tap Stamp it instead and it opens in the Library with its card on. • Manual Mode: the search field sits at the top, and every object is listed once. • Photos you identified yourself are marked Hand-solved in the Library. • The stamp card's Sky line names the constellations your chart actually shows. • Solve Details after Solve Again shows the real date, camera, lens and exposure. • Red screen no longer closes Settings.
