Built around how you
actually observe
From the first SMB connection to a polished gallery of stacked nebulae, Nebulis handles every step.
Image Library
Every capture from your SeeStar, thumbnailed and cataloged automatically. Filter by galaxy, nebula, cluster, date, or telescope. Star your favorites.
Observation Planner
See real altitude curves for every object tonight. Build a wishlist, rank targets by visibility window, and know exactly when to shoot.
Sky Forecast
Cloud cover, atmospheric seeing, moon phase, and humidity combined into a single visibility score for each hour of the night.
FITS Viewer
Inspect raw FITS headers, view individual subframes, and compare stacked vs. raw captures side by side. Full BITPIX 8/16/32 support.
Satellite Detection
Radon-projection analysis finds satellite and airplane trails in your FITS frames so you can flag or discard them before stacking.

Know exactly what
to shoot tonight.
The planner pulls your location and calculates live altitude curves for every object in the NGC, Messier, IC, and Sharpless catalogs. Add targets to your wishlist and Nebulis ranks them by peak visibility window.
- Altitude and azimuth curves for any date
- Wishlist management with one tap
- Rank targets by peak altitude and window
- Catalog image preview for every object
Astronomy-specific
weather, hourly.
Generic weather apps don't tell you about atmospheric seeing or moon phase. Nebulis combines cloud cover, humidity, seeing index, and moon illumination into a single 0–100 visibility score for every hour of the night.
- Per-hour cloud cover, seeing, and moon phase
- Composite 0–100 visibility score
- Sunset and astronomical twilight markers
- Automatic location detection
