Full timeline · 8 events
- 📦AstroTarget updated to version 1.1• Moon across the whole night: Astrotarget now works out for every target when the Moon really interferes, instead of only checking at the best time. This affects order, exposure, filter and total time.
• Moon window for each target and a Moon curve in the altitude chart.
• Altitude chart with a Moon symbol in the right phase and the best period marked; zoomable, and large when turned sideways.
• Your own SQM value per location: if you have measured it, the app uses it. It always says whether the sky value is measured or modelled.
• Fixed bar above the list with place and night: swipe to switch favourites.
• The list now says which night it is calculated for and what the Moon is doing.
• Extended glossary: gain and exposure length, Moon window, SQM.
• Many targets without an established name now show their nickname in quotation marks, also in search.
• Favourites remember their open viewing directions and apply them when you switch. You can edit them in the Location tab.
• A "Tonight" button appears when another night is selected. If the app was in the background overnight, it moves to the new night by itself in the morning.… more - 📈AstroTarget charting in a new countryChina

Review momentum
52/100
faster than 53% of Photo & Video apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
About AstroTarget
What is worth shooting with your smart telescope tonight? Astrotarget picks the best of 500 nebulae, galaxies and star clusters for your location, date and viewing direction – and tells you how to capture them.
MATCHED TO YOUR TELESCOPE
Seestar, Dwarf, Vespera, Unistellar, Celestron Origin and more: 19 models with aperture, focal length, field of view, filters and exposure steps. For every target you get a recommendation for sub-exposure, gain, filter and total time – in EQ or alt-az mode, rounded to the steps your device offers. "Why this exposure?" shows what limits the time: tracking, sky brightness or a bright core.
BEST TARGETS FIRST
Sorted by visibility, altitude, brightness and fit in the field of view. For each target: best time, altitude curve, best months, preview image, short description and Wikipedia link.
NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE
Targets for both hemispheres, plus the season at your location.
SKY BRIGHTNESS, AUTOMATICALLY
In Europe the Bortle class is estimated from satellite data, including the direction of the strongest light dome. You can change it by hand for each place.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• 500 targets from Messier, NGC and IC, searchable by catalogue number, name or constellation
• Choose viewing directions when trees or houses block part of the sky
• Favourites for several observing sites
• Glossary: EQ, alt-az, gain, dual-band, field rotation and more
HONEST, NOT POLISHED
Recommendations are starting values, not manufacturer specifications. Estimated values are marked in the app.
YOUR DATA
No account, no ads, no tracking, no subscription. Everything is calculated on the device; your location is only requested when you tap "Current location".
English, German and Spanish. For iPhone and iPad.
