AstroNight plans your night sky shoots. It combines moon phase, light pollution, night length and astronomical events to show you when to go out, then gives settings for your exact gear and target. Shoot with the built-in manual camera: set ISO, shutter, focus and shots, capture RAW, and apply your plan in one tap. AstroNight analyses your frames and tells you what’s wrong and how to fix it before the night is gone. The guide adapts from first-timer to advanced.

Partial Combining moon phase, light pollution, and event data into shoot plans is straightforward. A built-in manual camera with RAW capture needs deep native camera API work on each platform, which is much harder to vibe-code reliably.
What it would actually take: The planning layer can use astronomy libraries and a light-pollution dataset with a standard app UI. The manual camera needs native code against Camera2 or AVFoundation RAW and manual exposure controls, which vary by device. The hard part is per-device camera control and RAW pipelines, which requires mobile camera engineering experience.
