Ratings and Reviews
It works. Kinda.
I actually had no intention of using this app with the Hestia. I figured camera app would be good enough. Low and behold, native iPhone 15 camera will try and auto swap lens’. So I just went ahead and downloaded this app. The tutorials and setup were quite informative. I was able to get it going. However, the app auto crops the pictures, all my finished photos were at a low 1megapixel quality. I saw no way to increase the photo quality in the app or in the settings. I actually used this for the eclipse, so most of my pictures ended up looking like pixelated digital zooms instead of nice closeups I would expect from an iPhone 15.
Need work
App needs work. Doesn’t take advantage of all the photo, Timelapse or video functions that my phone is capable of. Disappointed by this app so far. I’m finding it frustrating to use and instead I’m seeing what I can do using the camera app on my phone instead of this app. Hope the company updates this app soon with more features and flexibility to take video and Timelapse.
Long-time amateur astronomer & loving it!
Software keeps getting better and better; the Hestia is an impressive device indeed! Highly recommend to anyone enthused by astronomy, especially educators and students! Produced phenomenal photos of the 2024 total eclipse and impressive deep-sky shots (including M30 and NGC457). Cannot wait to capture more. Clear skies!
