In this early review, I’ll talk about why APT is now my primary image acquisition and automation software. There is an unlimited demo version of APT available on their website so you can try it out for yourself.

Since it’s release in 2009, the developer has constantly improved and refined the software based on the real-life experiences from backyard imagers. The user interface is not overwhelming, which is rare in the world of astrophotography software. Update: I created a new Astro Photography Tool Tutorial Video in 2019 Astro Photography Tool (APT)ĪPT supports a wide variety of astrophotography cameras including Canon EOS, Nikon, and CCD or CMOS astronomy cameras such as the Starlight Xpress SX-42. The software allows you to control focus, framing, plate-solving, scheduling, and much more. The regular updates and support groups dedicated to this software are a reassuring sign. I feel confident investing time learning a new software application that is flexible enough to accommodate future upgrades I make to my camera equipment. The process of controlling a dedicated astronomy camera like the ZWO ASI071MC Cool is much different than a DSLR camera. In the video below, I also discuss my ongoing transition from a DSLR camera to a cooled CMOS camera. With a clear night ahead of me, I dive into Astro Photography Tool to plan my Whale Galaxy astrophotography project. There is no better way to learn a new imaging application than to put it to use for a night of deep-sky imaging. From my very first imaging sequence, I knew I was going to like this application. I have recently installed the Astro Photography Tool camera control software on my dedicated astrophotography laptop.
