The Features
Built for
the photons.
Every pixel preserved. Every detail kept. Nothing between you and the night sky.
Full-resolution uploads
Upload high-resolution astrophotography with no compression — up to 120 MB or 72 megapixels per image. Your hours of integration time stay visible at full quality.
Capture details, preserved
Every image carries a StarCard® — target, gear, exposure, filters and processing notes. Learn from every post and let others learn from yours.
A real astro community
Thrive alongside a global community of astrophotographers, from first-light beginners to seasoned deep-sky imagers. No algorithm deciding who sees your work.
Platesolve to find what's in your images
Our plate solving is integrated with Astrometry.net making it super fast to find out exactly what is contained within your image date. Works best with the same format that Astrometry.net works with, so JPEG, png and WebP
NASA style progression badges

Available on iPhone and Android, with a tablet version and desktop web uploader so you can post straight from your processing workflow.
Repeatable Setups

Fun games
