[Bruno S]

Hi Everyone,

 

My name is Bruno and live in Switzerland.

I only recently discovered my interest and Astrophotography and now I'm thrilled about making some amazing pics.

As I'm a newby in this topic and photography in general i hope to find here some usuful advice and friendly exchages.

Welcome to the Yard Bruno. I know nothing about AP but I do know a little bit about telescopes and the night sky. I recommend these astronomy freeware apps:

 

Stellarium

 

(shown on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)

 

Runs on Windows, Linux and macOS. There is also a Chrome/Android version, although it's a fork. For Windows there is an installation wizard, Linux has various packages (Snap & PPA Ubuntu/Debian). On Mac you have to run it from a directory not unlike a portable thumb drive app.

 

SkyPortal

Runs on iOS, Chrome OS and Android.
