The inability to manually control exposure makes it to take photos of dim parts of the sky. 90% of the times it does not focus resulting in a horrible photo. However when it do works it takes good photos. I wish a update could come that allows you to adjust the lens position manually.

Used it and it’s totally a lie. Was adjusting exposure time etc to see Neowise and kept seeing these images of tons of stars but no comet. So, I aimed my camera at the dirt, and boy golly my dirt is also full of stars and has even more stars when I extend the exposure time! Yeah right lol. Edit: The developer hilariously tried to make me sound unknowledgeable of how cameras work lol. I have several degrees in film and television production and use DSLR’s and other cameras frequently. I also downloaded another app from the App Store and got the proper results of a long exposure shot. What I saw from this app was not “noise”, it was a fabricated image. I even shone a light while taking a test image and it didn’t show up in frame.

This app is the most sensitive one I’ve ever used for astrophotography, which is great. Wish there were a manual (sliding) focus feature, since the camera has trouble focusing automatically on dim objects, which renders the touch-to-focus feature useless. Even a fixed focus to infinity would be better than autofocus. The developer is awesome and responsive.
