iphone apps

[Dan J]

I have an iphone 8 and I as wondering what app or apps to get to give this a try. Also has anyone here tried the NexYZ adaptor with an 8?  I'm just starting out in astronomy and it would be nice to take some pics...

Thanks

I have not tried that specific model -- but I have tried the Orion SteadyPix EZ Adapter which looks more or less the same. I can say that they are decent but not super easy to use. I've managed some good shots but I've also managed some horrible shots. The issue I have is that the adapter doesn't hold the phone completely in place and any movement at all ends up causing the phone's camera lens to be obstructed by the adapter housing. Maybe I'm doing it wrong...but it's not easy!

Thanks,  I'm actually looking for a good app that gives you more control over the camera functions of the phone. I do use Sky portal now and will most likely try a few of those others...

Nightcap and Procam 5 (or is it 6 now?) are the two that work best for me.
