Nightcap Camera app - Orion and his dogs

#1

Post by pakarinen »


Tried the NCC app on my ancient iPhone 7 today from my deck. Taken in "Stars" mode whatever that is. Guess I should read the manual. :lol:

Not half bad. Thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to your progress before putting the app on my iPhone.

iPhone 7!!!

The Nightcap app does work quite well.

The inherent camera app in the iPhone 11 actually does extremely well.

My iPhone is “ older” but I am happy to see you using the 7. I am not a big phone upgrader. Switching to another provider made me upgrade. Unfortunately, service in my area stinks. I am wondering if 5G might help

It probably does!

My iPhone 11 is 4G. It works for me for now. I will stick with it as long as I can. Just wish I didn’t lose signal out in the sticks!
