Dark Skies

Night time photography consistantly produces some of the most stunning photographs on the planet. Dark Skies is here to help you optimize those photographs. The longer you expose a digital camera sensor to light the more photons it is able to detect, thus the longer you can expose your cameras sensor to the night sky, the more stars you will see in the pictures. There is a catch though, because the earth is moving, if you expose the camera too long the stars will blur, when done intentionally this effect can be stunning, but sometimes that is not the desired result. To use Dark Skies, simply select your Camera, and the focal legnth of your lense, and Dark Skies will use the 600 rule to calculate how long of an exposure you can have. Thanks for downloading Dark Skies.

Reviews

My camera is not featured.
Empty Eye

REALLY not much info and the list of cameras is limited. No info about aperture, shutter speed and probably missing other things too. Too simple... already deleted.


Ap info does not match download
dbtravler

The display screens at the Ap store do not match the download. The 4 buttons on the right display do not exist in the download. Light, Settings, About & Night are not available in the Ap. Sent an email to the support address. No reply. Forget this a Ap. Use a calculator.


Ad Bomb
SamM87

If you like being bombarded with ads every 5 seconds, then this app is for you.


Ads literally every six seconds pop up and take over the screen....

Ads literally every six seconds pop up and take over the screen.... very annoying, I deleted the ap


Pop up galore
Stina286

Couldn't use the app. Ads popped up three times before I could select my camera type. Therefore making this app useless and deleted immediately. Don't waste your time.


Free version pops up full screen ads every few seconds.
fpsurgeon

For a super simple app that merely divides 500 (or 600) by your lens's focal length, it presents a constant bombardment of full screen ads. Literally every click, swipe, or pause of more than two seconds results in a fullscreen popup ad. Pathetic.


Useless program
747whaledriver

There are only three choices for the Canon camera; you have no real input as to what camera or ISO setting you are using; every 4-5 seconds, another ad pops up disrupting your use of the program, no matter how many times you decline a purchase for the same item. Very annoying as an app. Developer doesn't know the difference between the word add (a verb) and ad, short for advertisement: this should be a red flag right here. Absolutely useless as a tool for the professional. Erased my copy: I already have a calculator.


Pop ups
Wrightek

Pop ups literally every 4 seconds. The app is completely unusable

Lasted a whole of 2 minutes on my phone. Every 5 seconds of use a new ad pops up rendering this app usless. Just easier to use a standard calculator.


Ads every 4 seconds
Reant

Unusable with full screen ads every 4 seconds. Does it do what it says it does? No idea, 8 ads just in the time it took to get through the introduction. Never could get all the settings entered before getting too angry to bother.
