This is the light version of StarsPhoto. 

The beautiful starry sky...maybe you have seen on your trip.
But have you ever experienced like this?
“What stars and constellations Im seeing?”
“The constellation quick-view board doesnt work because it looks dark!”
“The guide book is too difficult to understand!”

StarsPhotoLite is a new app that makes it easy to understand the starry sky.
This app is a little different from the previous planetarium ones.
The smartphone screen turns into a constellation quick-view board.
Now you can see the starry sky in the direction you are facing.

You can easily know where and when the Milky Way can be seen.
When you search for constellations and stars on this app, you can use the guide function that guides you in the direction naturally,and see the pictures of nebulae and comets.
There are large icon button and menu button so that it is easy to operate even on a small smartphone screen.

There is also a time-lapse simulation function that is effective for those who take veteran starry pictures and those who take time-lapse movies of celestial bodies.
You can see the position of the star after several tens of minutes, and immediately know how long and how many shots you must set your camera in advance.

Point your smartphone with StarsPhotoLite to the night sky.
The starry sky is always waiting for you and StarsPhotoLite.

Characteristic

1) The AR function makes it easy to understand the positional relationship between scenery and stars.

2)Various display switching such as star name, constellation line, red longitude and declination line, direction, altitude line, horizon landscape, etc., and a lot of normal planetarium software functions!

3) Rich and easy-to-understand search function
When you search for constellations and star names, you will be guided naturally in that direction while watching the guide on the screen. You can also search for nebulae and comets visible at that time.

4) Nebula and comet image search fun to see
Nebulae that cannot be seen with the naked eye and comets that are currently visiting the solar system are also displayed on the screen. Long press on the screen will automatically search for photos on the Internet. (Internet connection required)

5) Time-lapse long exposure star view support function
"Time-lapse simulation" that supports not only time-lapse but also long-exposure shooting such as comparatively bright trail photos!
You can check in advance how the stars will move in the composition, so there will be no mistakes that the target star has come out of the composition after shooting.
You can set the shooting exposure time and the speed (fps) at the time of movie creation, so you can simulate like a movie at the time of completion.

******************************

(The following are features of the full version of StarsPhoto)
A) Field angle display of camera and lens!
Moreover, not only the center position but also the rotation of the camera is linked! You can set the composition.
You can position the composition while watching the smart screen without looking at the dark monitor or viewfinder of a camera that cannot see stars.
B) Horizontal installation of the smartphone on the camera! As it is still up to the sky and looking up, the neck will not hurt; you can comfortably decide the composition by looking at the screen from above! !
This is the best way to check the constellation with the smartphone attached to the camera.
Moreover, accuracy is high precision. (It depends on smartphone performance)
Since smartphone orientation can be changed (horizontal, vertical), you can also use it while looking up as before.
