About this app

Celestial events happening? Use Stargazing Hub!

Stargazing Hub is a complete observing toolkit for astronomy enthusiasts, astrophotographers, and anyone starting to explore the night sky. It brings together a real-time star map, sky image recognition, observing forecasts, light pollution maps, satellite passes, and practical imaging tools so you can decide when to go out, where to observe, what to look for, and how to frame your shot.

Why choose Stargazing Hub?

· [Sky Image Recognition]: Analyze sky photos locally or online. Identify constellations, deep-sky objects, planets, and astronomical parameters to help you review your images and confirm target positions.

· [Real-Time Star Map and AR Sky]: Explore constellations, constellation artwork, traditional star lore, the Milky Way, deep-sky objects, comets, meteor showers, satellites, and viewfinder overlays. Use the star map for planning, or overlay it on the real sky with AR.

· [Real Observing Conditions]: Simulate light pollution, moonlight, twilight, horizon, terrain, and imaging conditions before you head out. For deep-sky targets, switch DSS layers to check background context and plan composition.

· [Viewfinder and Mosaic Planning]: Calculate real fields of view from cameras, lenses, telescopes, eyepieces, binoculars, and smart telescopes. Plan and export mosaic panels for wide deep-sky targets.

· [Stargazing Index Forecast]: Compare hourly observing quality using cloud cover, transparency, seeing, moonlight, wind, humidity, and more, so you can choose better observing windows.

· [Astronomical Calendar]: Track sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, moon phases, Milky Way visibility, moonless windows, meteor showers, planets, comets, and other events.

· [Maps and Environment]: Check global light pollution, stargazing index maps, aurora maps, weather forecasts, air quality, and sunrise or sunset glow forecasts.

· [Satellites and Space Station]: View real-time positions, brightness estimates, and pass predictions for the Chinese Space Station, Starlink, and other satellites.

· [Astrophotography Tools]: Use calculators for night-sky photography, guiding accuracy, equivalent focal length, polar scope simulation, and red-light mode.

Download Stargazing Hub and keep your star map, forecasts, recognition tools, and imaging helpers in one place.

Ratings and reviews

just wow, this app is full of useful and comprehensive information for stargazing, the user interface is very cool and gives space tech vibes, I really like the app and thanks to the developers for making it free

Thanks Thanks Thanks, See, I never reviewed any app ever, but this time I can't control myself in bringing me here to praise you guys, man what you guys have done with this app is otherworldly (pun intended). Thanks for making this. Please I beg of you, never ever delete/remove/stop this app. Thanks. I think of something like I wish I could get this info too, and voila there is the info under some button or something, you can find anything related to stargazing in this app.

This app is telling me that's it's a great night to star gaze all night. There's a huge Waxing Gibbous moon tonight and you can't see it through the clouds! In fact, the entire state of Virginia plus most of the east coast is covered by a noreaster and completely overcast. Lost of useless information on this app since the weather's incorrect and my Latitude and Longitude coordinates are perfect. Only the moon phase was correct. I had to delete it.
