Now, this is probably not going to be news here; I found this little
gem via a Facebook group. I am a Canon 100 user, yep nice small, light camera, but with a none pull out screen. This has given me hours of yoga-like moments trying to see and focus my refractor, I even started to use a loop, as there is no live view magnification.
This program let's me see live view on my 24-inch monitor, and has an Astronomy mode that helps focus on bright stars and measure the size to while focusing.
An easy to use
app, that is free and is compatible with most Canons & Nikons so for us
DSLR users it is very handy.
