Singularity by Vaonis

I am happy so far. I did not have the scope a few updates ago where some people experienced serious issues with the scope. I did have an update which turned solar images green for some reason. Both are now fixed. So their quality control could use some improvement. As far as use of the app goes I like a lot of it. Easy to use and set up the scope. I love viewing the images as they come in from the warmth of my home or car. The simple image processing added in the last update was very nice. A few suggestions if anyone is listening: be able to plan a multi-night, mosaic or a viewing with a filter without requiring me to have the scope on and configured on how I would use it. I want to be able to set it up in the app, set how I want the scope to be configured and then, later, when I go to collect data, warn me on the app if I was to start a planned night and the scope isn’t configured as planned. Also landscape mode on an iPad would be nice to have and in today’s age I can’t image it is too difficult. Lastly, many iOS apps can work on M-chip MacBooks it would be nice to run Singularity from my MacBook.

The fact that landscape is not supported on iPad is a huge development oversight. Please support landscape for iPad. No one uses an iPad in portrait mode. Aside from that, the app seems smooth. Like another reviewer, I too downloaded the app in anticipation of my Vespera being delivered tomorrow. That being the case, I haven’t used it outside of signing up and a quick browse through the tabs to see what is offered. Not much going on in the app without the telescope connected, so I’ll update my review after I spend some time with it. Seriously, the app being forced into portrait mode makes me apprehensive to even open the telescope. If I have to use the app in portrait, I’m not sure I even want the hardware. Please fix this asap.

Been getting great results. Need to have planning enabled for the new scope. Also, since the scope is limited to it’s own processing, would be nice to have in-app post processing or even restacking with different settings. Would also be great to stack over different nights. Finally, pictures of the moon are horrible, not sure why, but given ten minutes for the ring nebula in light polluted sky’s, I am impressed.
